Close up Mini Lilacs or Perrywinkle not sure

I don't really ever shoot flowers much, but this looked so interesting the closer I got to it... This was in the Ventura Mission Garden - San Buenaventura Mission

I believe the mini-lilac is the correct ID for this specimen. We have periwinkle in our yard and they have a pretty large flower compared to this.

I am glad we have people like Alan who know a thing or two! To me, it’s just a pretty purple flower.
