I was just noodling around on the internet, looking for more plant sources of vitamin A/ Beta carotene for my Hermann's tort, Elsa Elizabeth, and I discovered that BOTH hibiscus flower and day lily flower are high in Beta Carotene!!!! So that gives us other options besides carrots and pumpkins as a source of vitamin A for our torts!!!:)

It's also good news for PEOPLE, since day lilies are edible for humans. ;)
Happily, Elsa LOOOOOOVES her hibiscus and day lily flowers, which we have bunches of down here. :)
