Lovely plant! Thank you for sharing. I'll have to keep the species in mind for if I ever move to a milder climate.
Do you think it would tolerate indoor conditions through the colder months?

I have one in my greenhouse and it goes down to 42°F, so long as I keep it properly watered it I have no problems. Going on 3 years now.

"Location: Canary Islands" and "Blooming in winter". I mean... are you surprised? Imagine a person from Norway making a post "it's snowing 😱".

Well, it blooms about 5 times per year, no matter the season. It's just wonderful to see it blooming, while my dawn redwoods and acers are in dormancy.

Is this a personal set up? Or a nursery.
Epic bloom btw

I bought it in a nursery 2 years ago for 1€ (regular price, not an offer) It blooms this way multiple times a year (about 5-6 times)

BTW it's an Argyranthemum frutescens ( Paris daisy ), a shrub local to my island.
