Meet Chrysanthemum leucanhemum. Also called the Common Daisy or The Ox-eye Daisy.
Technically a non-native, it is a European immigrant.
In keeping with the folk-healing pharmacopeia of plant life around here it contains pyrethrin - a
chemical that repels insects and s used in organic pesticides.
It is a nice garden plant that you'll find growing all over the Platz.
We use a spray of these to decorate the dinner table or the cocktail tables on the porch.
