This is a large daisy with a storied history. It was developed and hybridized by the noted horticulturist Luther Burbank around 1890. It was named after Mount Shasta because its petals were the color of the snowy tip of the mountain.

Kathy, first a (tiny) remark: I think that Tick (OFT) is talking about Merle Haggard's song Kern River. Merle mentions however Mount Whitney in stead of Mount Shasta. Kern river (originally Rio de San Felipe, later La Porciuncula), is fed by snow melt near Mount Whitney. As far as I know, Merle didn't sing about Mount Shasta as he was singing: "And now I live on Lake Shasta, And Lake Shasta is where I will stay."
Lake Shasta is mentioned in the song My favorite Memory as well.
Think I said enough about 'Shasta' now (😁) with the exception of your splendid Shasta Daisy photograph: that this daisy is mentioned after Mount Shasta was a proper choice of Luther Burbank because the white petals resembles the top of Mount Shasta. Thanks for both the image and the interesting narrative.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
It is a beautiful daisy.
I like the back story on this beauty.
