You probably have Leucanthemum vulgare, or ox-eye daisy. It's also
known as Chrysanthemum leucanthemum. This is a Eurasian species that
has spread throughout the United States.
Someone was asking about moving these; in my experience, they're
pretty tough but sensitive to water needs. Moving them now that
summer is setting in may cause them to wilt quite a bit and require
constant watering, so I would wait until fall unless you have the
time to keep an eye on them.
