Brahea brandegeei blue, natural variation or hybrid?

[Phoenikakias]

It originates from an batch of seeds produced by my own specimen. It used to have more blue tinges that other seedlings in the community pot, but this summer with more sun exposure It is really standing out! What do you think it more probable, natural variation or hybrid?

It could just be a variation but very special for sure. Brahea are very root sensitive as you probably already know . Separating a community pot could be tricky. Harry

Except David's Franken-Brahea. It laughs at any root disturbance it is subjected! Honestly...

Looks very armata-like!  But I'm guessing natural variation if it's not growing faster than the other seedlings.  I have a Acoelorraphe wrightii seedling that was quite glaucous.  So much blue that I thought it might be the "azul" variety until I read that even the green form starts out like that.  My brandegeei seedling never showed any blue color so I understand your dilemma!  It's got to be one of the two.

The long petioles are suggestive of Brahea aculeata. Unless it's in nearly full sun, an ID is extremely hard with seedlings.

Here's one in France:
