what a funny weed

http://www.alexareynolds.com/garden09/palmsprout.JPGI keep finding these funny little weed sprouts around the garden.  They're one long stiff blade and when you pull them up, they look like they're sprouting from a coffee bean!

It turns out after a bit of help I learned that they're baby Canary Island palm trees.  There are a few nearby so the birds must be carrying them into the yard on occasion.  Who would have imagined I would one day live in a town where weeds include palm trees?
