I bought a couple of Shasta Daisies this spring, only one flowered and it
had a mass of loose white petals, it was lovely but I never got round to
shooting it :-(

This, from Google, is what it was like.

Label says Shasta Daisy.

If it is not, can you perhaps ID it for me?

Thanks in advance,
Mariana

Jane, that's the problem with common names, that plant could be
anything. Without being able to see the leaves, etc. I really have no
idea what it is. Could be a mum.

I'll take a photo of the leaves and post them.

Might be a mum, but I didn't realize that Mums flower now. Mums always
flowered in the very late fall for me.

Thank you,

Originally Shasta was a hybrid created by Luther Burbank (Chrysanthemum
maximum x C. leucanthemum) it became very popular but because it didn't
come true from seed gradually changed and became a class of Daisies that
were extensively hybridized and there are now many forms, large and
small, single and double and though I have only seen white, the pictures
posted look like Shastas.

I'm sorry, Marianna, but I don't know what they are. The foliage does
look like one plant that's known as a Shasta Daisy, but again, I've
never seen a yellow one. Doesn't mean they don't exist, I just don't
know it.
