Did she get it in the wet sand near a marsh or other water front? We have a lot of something like your description. I don't know any name for it except Marsh Daisy. I think it likes the salt or brackish areas.

Yes, it would have been in salty sand. I looked up Marsh Daisy on google and didn't really find anything (except chickens???!). I looked up beach daisies but those seemed to have white petals with a yellow center. The plant my friend saw had solid yellow flowers.

THANKS!

Then, I am guessing that we are talking about the same thing. I'll keep thinking. I have never seen it grow more than a few feet from a salty marsh/causeway/whatever.

I think you're talking about Sea Oxe Eye - Borrichia frutescens.
