That's pretty much it. I've picked up daisies I found in my garden that look like this, except that the under side has a pink tip. Are they edible? If yes, are only the flowers edible or are the stems edible too?

Thanks!

I don't have info on that plant, however in my experience most daisies are not palatable and tortoises don't eat them.

Per the Tortoise Table it’s a feed in moderation plant. I’m with Yvonne that most tortoises aren’t fans of daisies. Mine sure won’t.
