Are these Brahea seedlings?

In a large pot containing mint herb and hyacinths I throw at times unwanted palm seed, most of them being Chamaerops. But this time keep popping up seedlings with a long leaf tip and rather soft tissue. I can not remember whether I had thrown in there also seeds of Brahea brandegeei or another sp. Certainly those seedling do not look like Chamaerops.  Anyone able to confirm at least the Brahea identity?

I can not confirm, but those do look much like B. edulis seedlings that I have grown.

Though I can't begin to guess, the tomentum on the seedlings is interesting. Can you dig down with your fingers a little and try to find one of the old seeds these are growing from? The size of it may jog your memory.

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.
