    searching pic on google...google says its..Leucanthemum vulgare, commonly known as the ox-eye daisy, oxeye daisy, dog daisy, marguerite and other common names, is a widespread flowering plant native to Europe and the temperate regions of Asia, and an introduced plant to North America, Australia and New Zealand. Scientific name: Leucanthemum vulgare

    Some sort of aultivwted Marguerite, but not ox-eye daisy which is a single stemmed wild flower with a different leaf.

    Oops, that should have said 'cultivated'!

    It's an Argyranthemum @lesleymeyrick . Commonly called a marguerite, as the others have said. 
    That's the problem with just googling. It's important to know the correct term to get advice for care etc. They aren't hardy unless you're in a warm area  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Some of mine survived last winter but they were so woody and ratty, they weren't worth keeping. I could have taken cuttings I suppose. I'll see if mine survives this winter and maybe do that next year.

    You do know that Wikipedia can be changed by almost anyone don't you?  ;)
    It's not a Leucanthemum.

    The problem is - you've googled the image the OP posted and it's telling you it's a leucanthemum. 
    It isn't.
    The amount of weird IDs people get for photos when they do that is astonishing. We see queries on the forum very regularly when that happens  :)
