I made this picture at Riverlands house on our visit, she thinks it is a lavender. She also said it bloomed all winter. She lives in LA but her weather is much like ours as she is in the north part and rated as 7B
Thanks for your help.

I'd say it's Erysimum.

Yes, I could not smell any scent to it, but I had been riding in a car with plants inside for 6 hours and my allergies were a little stirred up. It does not smell to me.

Definitely not lavender. I agree with altagardener, it definitely looks like an Erysimum to me, possibly 'Bowles Mauve' although there are a couple other purplish/lavender ones as well.

The plant foliage looks like it, and it is a woody plant, but the color on my picture is pretty close to the real color. It is a blue to my eyes
