I found these flowers in my backyard and I was wondering if these weeds/flowers are safe for tortoises. I'm not sure what kind they are. Thanks!

Thanks for the help. Just a few more I found. I believe these are succulents but not quite sure if they are okay for torts. I know one of them is echeveria which I know is okay, but I could be wrong. image1.JPG image2.JPG image3.JPG

The yellow plant in the first pic is a form of Sedum rupestre, probably 'Angelina'. Not sure on edibility, but not noted for toxicity.
Second is Sempervivum; OK
Third pland is another Sedum, probably a spurium or kamtschaticum cultivar. Again, not notably toxic, but no knowledge of edibility.

Found some more wild plants/flowers in the ravine by my house. I was wondering if you guys could identify them and if they are good for tortoisesimage.jpgVery large leaves that I find everywhere, each leaf is about the size of a person's head

These have little thorns on them, but I don't think they are thistles.

Low ground purple flowers with small leaves that are all around the the bush floor.image8.JPG
Last image, tall white flowers. Very fragrant and also come in shades of lavender/purple.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would know to grab these or not for my Leopard. :)

Thanks! I only picked the Dame's rocket out of those cuz they smelled so sweet so even if he couldn't eat it I would've kept it for myself. I gave it this morning along with other weeds and it was the first thing he munched on!

Number 4 is Ranunculus acris aka. Buttercup. Pretty much anything in that family is a no-no.
