Absolutely Asterales, likely Erigeron philadelphicus, which, Wikipedia fecetiously states, stinks, hence the name.
I think Philly fleabane sounds like an insectivore delicacy but then I'm sort of skevish.
These lovely plants make a fine astringent or diuretic but also can cause complications in pregnancy. That being the case, I think it's best just to let them brighten the yard.
I really like how the Missouri Plants site (linked above) stands out the photos over a black background. They also have Cool Botony Links including one to edible landscaping.
