Look like ya. Over here, we pull out a single flower and suck at the sweet sap that flow out

Safe for tortoise ?

Hmmm....I don't know? Let me look a bit and I will let you know what I find

You say that you sucked the nectar out....have you ever consumed the flower itself? I mean, a rose is edible, a dandelion is edible....you know what I mean?
