Can you tell me what these are?

I thought they were daisies, but every tells me that daisies don't get as tall as they are (5-6 feet at the moment). They have not flowered yet due to our horrible summer here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The flowers last year were white with yellow centers.

Hi Microfiche,

Hi!
They just started opening yesterday, but someone on a different forum identified them last week. They are:
* Leucanthemella serotina
* aka Chrysanthemum serotinum
* aka Hungarian daisy
* aka Giant daisy

Thanks so much for the update. I had a feeling they were a mum, aka daisy!

Great plant,

They do look like some kind of Leucanthemum, or Shasta Daisy.

I have those in one section of my garden ... hubby took 1 (one) plant a few years back out of the 40 acre nature center that is behind us and transplanted it in my front corner garden .. I now have hundreds of these wild daisies !! :roll:

Hi Sher,

Sounds like you aren't too pleased that you have so many now. If you deadhead, or even cut them back as soon as they are finished blooming, that will keep them from seeding about.

Daisies are my favorite flower and I can't grow them in my yard. It's just too shady and damp in the winter! I've tried, truly I have. I figure if after 3 attemps to grow a plant and they all die, it's time to move on to something else! :(
