Does anyone know what these are and if they are safe?? Sorry the pics are not that great (camera). But I would like to know as I have 5 acres of this that I can pull from if they are tort safe.

The first one is hawksbit, the seventh and eighth are coreopsis = safe, the others are not familiar to this midwestern boy, so I would suggest checking with desert tort folks.

Thanks for that info!! Everything is in bloom and growing so I have been looking, I actually found another plant but I have not taken pictures yet but it looks like the coreopsis, but it have orange flowers instead of yellow.

I have more weed pictures... Can anyone tell me what they are??









I don't want to pull and toss if they are edible..Thanks in advance

anyone know??

Hey Jen, That last one looks like good old dandelion, or am I way off? Yellow flower? I know those are delicious to many , human and critter alike.

I would say the first pic in the second lot is a dandelion too, my tort loves these.

I was thinking some of them were but they didn't have flowers like the ones growing in my pen, are there different types??

Thanks, The ones I thought to be dandelions don't have the yellow flowers so could they still be dandelions?or something close to it?
