It is a commonly grown herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals around a yellow disc. Shasta daisies are characterized by a distinct odor which some find unpleasant, which makes them unusual amongst flowers.

I would need to see the leaf but it looks like a Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum superbum). There are many varieties of daisy and you need the leaves to tell them apart!

I am not quite sure...... how about Tanacetum parthenium????
