pink flowers?

Anyone know what these are? And are they safe for torts?

It has different names, Mexican primrose being one. I've never thought if it was edible or not. I DO have it growing in my Manouria pen, but I don't know if they've eaten it or not.

Couldn't find it under Mexican primrose, but found it as:

Pink Ladies, Mexican Evening Primrose, Showy Evening Primrose
Oenothera speciosa

One site I found says its deer resistant, so maybe that means its not edible.

Thanks for the info! I tried searching for it and I came across a website about desert tortoises that made it seem as if it was edible. I think it even showed a newsletter with a desert tortoise eating this flower. But I want to be 100% sure.
