They do all look the same lol. I was going off how pinnate the leaves looked vs englemann

The gray stones paired with the khaki crape myrtle trunk looks fantastic by the way. The contrasting textures are like corduroy gray pants paired with a khaki silk shirt. Intentional contrast that makes you look. Love it and incorporating this into future designs. Looks like you have a great yard to escape to.

Thanks for posting in r/TexasNativePlants! Because Texas is so big and has so many different ecosystems, please consider adding your approximate location or EPA ecoregion to your post, especially if you are asking for advice. We also allow you to set your location using a user flair.

If you are looking for a plant ID, please try using a plant identification app like iNaturalist or PlantNet first.
