Hello I have these that are growing in my back yard and my sulcata wants to wat them but I don't know if they are safe. I tried to Google the plant but I can't found it. It also has little white flowers growing from it if that helps.
Does anyone know if sulcata can eat this plant

That looks like Indian Tobacco. Its highly toxic. Carefully pull it out by the root and throw it in the garbage.
I might have the wrong common name, but I know the plant. We have tons of it out here too.

Wow!!! Okay will do! Thank you
I was thinking it sort of looked like the wild sunflowers that grow along the highway??
Got this id by Garden Answers app a while back because I was hoping it was a good eatin' plant. Did not take very long to look like this, so pull it right away 
As you can see, I didn't and it already had a 2" trunk.

Its leaves are attached to the stalk by petioles (many other Nicotiana species have sessile leaves), and its leaves and stems are neither pubescent nor sticky like Nicotiana tabacum. It resembles Cestrum parqui but differs in the form of leaves and fusion of the outer floral parts. It grows to heights of more than two meters.
Tree tobacco is native to South America but it is now widespread as an introduced species on other continents. It is a common roadside weed in the southwestern United States, and an invasive plant species in California native plant habitats.
The plant is used for a variety of medicinal purposes and smoked by Native American groups. The Cahuilla Indians used leaves interchangeably with other tobacco species in hunting rituals and as a poultice to treat swellings, bruises, cuts, wounds, boils, sores, inflamed throat, and swollen glands. Contains the toxic alkaloid anabasine. Ingestion of the leaves can be fatal. It is being investigated for use as a biofuel."
