Looking again at pictures and having clicked a lot this year in California, I am convinced that this is not E. macrantha which is now considered as E. rubra var. macrantha. It is characterised by glandular viscid stems, pedicels and calyx (rather a key character), which is lacking in these photographs. Please see this from KEW website:

I think above plant should be Escallonia 'Apple Blossom'
