This thing is really big. I'm not a flower kinda gal at all. But since we have tortie now, I'm starting to look at ALL plants as potential food for DonaTello.
Another plant, please

Thanks Laura. I wonder the name? Anyone have any ideas? That picture link sure does look like it Laura.
Its calla lily - Zantedeschia Aethiopica
The rhizomes are edible, although the plant is reportedly toxic

My wife loves those. Plants them everywhere. I've always read they were toxic too.
I just learned from my friend who just came back from South Africa, that calla lilies grow wild in that country. And the tortoises there eat them.

I believe that the rhizome is the tubular root, or maybe the offshoots of the root. I've been eyeing those this spring...

We used to call those Easter Lilies. 
Ok wait, I'm confused! Is it ok to let them munch on this or not? I haven't fed my sully this yet. I have loads of it around my house.

The final answer is don't feed. Thanks Kelly!
