Unidentified bush with powder puff flowers ID'd by Alevin as Melaleuca nesophila

Does anybody know this bush I saw in southern California, the small, pink powder puff like flowers resemble those of Calliandra, but the leaves don't look right.

Thank you! great to get help so quickly. So it had nothing to do with California, after all, I suspected that.
