I just found it growing in the crack in my driveway. I will try to find one tomorrow. I think they came from my neighbor's "wild" yard. Thx for responding!Is there anyway you can show us the plant itself? Leaves etc..
None of my gazania are monochrome like that, but the shape and petals is very similar. You might be right.It looks more like a gazania. See how the petals are single and straight. You can google to confirm. I don't know if they are safe to eat.
Looks like a cape daisy to me. Osteospermum Not a good tortoise food.

- Calendula (/kəˈlɛndjuːlə/),[1] is a genus of about 15–20 species[2] of annual and perennial herbaceous plants in the daisy family Asteraceaethat are often known as marigolds. They are native to southwestern Asia, western Europe, Macaronesia, and the Mediterranean. Other plants are also known as marigolds, such as corn marigold, desert marigold, marsh marigold, and plants of the genus Tagetes. The genus name Calendula is a modern Latin diminutive of calendae, meaning "little calendar", "little clock" or possibly "little weather-glass". The common name "marigold" refers to the Virgin Mary. The most commonly cultivated and used member of the genus is the pot marigold(Calendula officinalis). Popular herbal and cosmetic products named 'calendula' invariably derive from C. officinalis.
