Giant clover?

[Peliroja32]

I have been looking for plants my little leopard can eat and came across this one. Looks just like a clover but giant compared to and i have ever seen, also i have not seen any flowers with it......?
Good? No good?

It's Oxalis not Clover ... and, sadly, must not be fed to your tort

Huh I didn't know that either

Oxalis isn't good for torts and it's not particularly nutritious for humans but it has a nice lemony flavor.

Hmmm i didnt know that. Didnt think it was oxalis, i have the purple oxalis but the leaves are more triangle shaped. Well poo i guess i'll keep looking then

What i dont understand is why i have never seen any type of flower with those clover looking ones

Not sure why either but when you do, they should be yellow!

On the positive side, I think you might have some dollarweed in there, the plant with the round leaves and the white spot in the middle. Can you post a new picture of that one by itself. Something that shows the stem.

I think you're right! Good eye! Dollarweed has a poisonous twin too though. So need to be sure.
