Aster Species? Leucanthemum maximum I hope Thanks for this id as well. Is this a new Cultivar?

wiki essay today mentions it…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucanthemum_maximum but without detailed measurement and leaves etc and branching pattern where the wild mums of this sp. makes one flower at the end of the branch ??

I don’t know what would be the id of Aarti ji’s plant, some information can be accessed at –Missouri Bot. Garden Thanks for forwarding my earlier post from California and resolving the id. I hope you have checked Brachyscome ‘Enduring Blue’ suggested by me earlier?
