Orchid flowers?

[okkarence]

We've had orchids in our house for years, and every summer the flowers fall off and we just throw them away. Are they safe to feed to my hermanns tortoise? I can't find much information about it online.

No they are not safe on any place I have seen.

I asked my friend, Google if orchids are edible and he showed me a web site that says, yes, orchids are indeed edible.

Hope its reliable. I havent found one that said they are. Granted I haven't search for quite some time as I took the answer I had found as the answer.

Yeah they're definitely edible to humans but i can't find anything about them being safe for torts. Probably best to play it safe and just not feed them?
