What is this bush?

Can anyone tell me what this plant is please? It belongs to a neighbour and I always admire it on passing but he can't remember what it's called.
Currently about 3-4 ft high but he prunes it regularly so I presume would grow bigger left to it's own devices.
Have added a pic but may take a few mins to be approved.

I think it might be Grevillea, but there are many different forms, so cannot be more precise than that. They are often used in Mediterranean plantings, and are said to be frost hardy. It’s very pretty!

I don’t know but it’s lovely!

I put the photo into an image search, the result was Grevillea lavandulacea. It’s beautiful!

I tried google image search after this reminder and think it is grevillea too. I think juniperina looks closest. Also known as prickly spider flower which doesn’t do it justice at all!
I’m going to buy one as it clearly likes our soil.
Thanks all.
