There is no known such species of spider. Either you have discovered a new one, or (more likely) your 6-year-old has a healthy imagination.
Or, perhaps people should do some research before claiming to know everything... the spider is most likely a Daring Jumping Spider (Phidippus Audax). Here is a link to help you identify it: http://www.Flickr.com/photos/opoterser/3208080239/ It's not 12 inches but Spiders always get larger with the telling.
I hope this is a help both to you and your very perceptive six year old.

I found a spider right outside of my house door and couldn't find an answer and this is what came up....hope its useful!! One common garden spider, known as the black and yellow garden spider, has silver hairs on the back of its forward body section and a large abdomen marked in black and bright yellow (or orange). The common garden spider is approximately 25 mm (1 inch) long and hangs head down in the center of the web. It is often found in brambles, bushes and tall grasses in open, sunny places near human habitations where flying insects blunder into the trap. Egg sacs are spherical and narrowed at one end and covered with a tough brown, paper-like silk. These spiders are not considered dangerous, despite their formidable appearance, but they can bite if handled or molested.
The fact they're found in flowers.
