My wife picks up palms seeds every where we go and we plant them. These came up this summer and I honestly have no idea what they are. The one one the top right has soft fronds similar to what I have seen in Queens. However the rest have very hard fronds. Any idea what they might be?

It's impossible to tell from that distance. If you get some good close ups then we might be able to give some educated guesses.

The one in the pink pot is either a sabal or brahea armata. It's blue grey from what I can tell.

Matt and GSN, we do have an abundance of Sabal mexicana around this area. Could that be what they are? I will get some close ups and post them later on.

Thanks to everyone who replied. My wife finally recognized the pal she got the seeds from. It was a Texas Sabal Palmetto.
