Daisies? No. These are Scentless Chamomiles (Matricaria perforata),

Gee Herb,
I don't know exactly how many paintings Van Gogh sold during his
lifetime, if any. I do know that he lived on the support of others,
died without money, and was distraught by the lack of acceptance
(SELLING) of his paintings. You can look the facts up and argue minor
points with me.
Beautiful, Bruce! I really like the out-of-focus
background, which is usually the whole shot!

I don't really disagree with what you are saying here, but I do have

Unfortunately, this can leads towards a little less creativity and more of
