Daisy-Like Flower in Nova Scotia: Narrowing Down the Asteraceae Family

Daisy-Like Flower in Nova Scotia: Narrowing Down the Asteraceae Family

A gardener in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, described a plant with grass-like leaves (6 inches long, 6-10 inches diameter), flower stalks with small white flowers (smaller than a quarter) with 6 narrow pointed petals and a yellow center, opening day and closing night.

Expert Response

The description matches the daisy family (Compositae/Asteraceae), with over 1500 genera and 23000 species. Without a photo of flower and foliage, exact ID is difficult. The expert recommended taking a photo or plant to a local garden center.
