A daisy of some kind? Barb, if possible I suggest collecting a sample of species that you can't id in the field and that expert moderators can't id from images. I could collect from your place and would bring samples to a botanist.
I did collect samples of herbs (except orchids and lilies) which I stored in a plastic bag in the fridge together with collection notes (date, site, my name, no of specimen and field notes) for later id by our botanist.

It is star cudweed - so don't know why I did not id it.

Maybe because there are 2 star cudweeds - it could be Euchiton sphaericus
I'll have to look up how to tell them apart!
