Might cause stomach upset (but this is from a human standpoint).

So is it safe to leave it ,it's not in the enclosure but slightly overhanging it.

If you look up the latin name of Aquilegia then you will find out more about its toxicity... Tortoise Table has it as a 'do not feed'

I doubt a tort would touch it if it was out in the yard. I am not sure what the seeds are like, but suggest that you avoid them being eaten by accident if at all possible.

I'll move it to the front garden just in case.
