Hello everyone!



Is this Ruellia simplex? Is it safe for Greek tortoises?

Hi! The TortoiseTable website (https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plant-database/) lists it as safe to eat (search for Mexican Petunia). If it's really Ruellia (I'm bad at plant id)

Thank you for the feedback and for the link ! It looks similar to the ones in the table. Maybe it is from the same family.

If there's any doubt, don't feed it, especially in large amounts.

looks sort of like 4o'clock (mirabilis jalapa) It was cultivated by the aztecs for medicinal purposes.

On photos on TTT mirabilis has wider and shorter leaves. Or there are varietes with long and narrow leaves?
