Can someone please help me to identify this shrub?

The picture was taken from a distance so it might not be very clear but
even a
rough quess would do. I just love the colour of the flowers.
Thanks

Don't know what it is (looks like a warm climate plant) but it's
definitely not lilac.

Are the flowers tubular like this:

A better picture would show the flower shape and leaf shape.

The photographs aren't clear enough for a positive identification, but
try Prostanthera (mint bush).
