For years there have been what I think is wild daisy growing in the ditches on my street. Daisys are my very favorite flower so I always loved that they grew wild near me. I write this wearing my favorite daisy print dress. So I realized that Daisys chamomile and feverfew look very similar. I'm into medicinal herb gardening so if chamomile or feverfew were growing wild down my street of be very ecstatic. I've tried googling but no help some of the pollen buds are flat some are protruding seems the smaller younger ones are flatest which made ne think chamomile but the leaves aren't the same and the petals don't point downward. Can anyone please help me identify these

Definitely not chamomile, which doesn't really have leaves, but is feathery/ ferny. Chamomile has much more pronounced rounded center and small petals:

not feverfew which has small round petals and very different leaves:

I don't know, maybe common daisy, shasta daisy, oxeye daisy? There are many daisies and "daisy-like flowers."
