Passion flowers

[Mel]

My Yellow Foot loves Passion flowers. Are the leaves edible too? She does eat Hibiscus flowers and leaves. Yet my younger Salcutas don't seem interested. Are they good for both species?

including the edible Passiflora edulis...wonder why they use the term edible?

My Yellow Foot loves it. Do torts know what weeds and flowers are good instictively? If not, letting them roam the yard might not be safe either. And to think In was excited about the blooms coming in! Thanks for the info.

its ok, apparently they are reasonably good at not eating things they shouldn't, but would be best to remove snything you know to be bad if they have full rein of the garden. But I am not an expert...

Wow, I don't know if they're edible but they look pretty!
