Hi everyone, i am from Singapore. I have zero knowledge about plants/flower but i been learning and trying to get more edible plants/weeds for my star tortoise.
I been searching in plants nursery for flowers and weeds seeds but i do not have much luck. I only found hibiscus and petunia. The petunia feel waxy on the flower n leaves, do i just wash n feed?
I have another question, is marsh mallow one of the edible mallow? picture is in the link below

They both should be fine. I am jealous of you being in an area where you can grow tropical hibiscus outside.

Hibiscus leaves and flowers are my staple food year round, also. Even if I'm in a hurry, I can cut or rip off a branch and toss it into my pens. The plants regrow as quickly as they are cut back.
You can also use begonia, rose, marigold and a lot of others, though I have no idea of what plants can be found in Singapore.
