I have this flower or herb that popped up in my garden. I would like to know if it is edible for teas? Does anyone know what it is? Thanks

I agree with Edward that your flower is a Zinnia.

I also feel it is not just a Zinnia though a very pretty variation like this one called Show Stopper:

Show Stopper

Or it might be on of these other variations:

Lilliput Rose

Exquisite

Illumination
