Does anyone have any ideas what this daisy may be?

It's a subshrub or evergreen perennial around 40-50cm high, the flowerheads
are up 5cm diameter and I photographed it today, which is midwinter here in
New Zealand. It's been flowering for several months and shows no sign of
stopping. The garden is in a frost-free area.


It's a Euryops and I think it's chrysanthemoides from what I can see of the
leaf. They are absolutely marvellous plants and go on flowering for ages.
If you want to be very tidy, you can take off dead flower stalks but that's
all you need to do as they produce new flowers from every leaf joint without
any need for trimming or pinching out - they're self-stopping. Ours flower
for 8 or 9 months of every year and have survived -6 frosts but a really
hard frost will kill them.
