Sorry, total plant newbie here. I was just outside and noticed what i'm guessing is a weed. Accidentally pulled the whole thing out instead of the top flowers.

And then we have this medium sized bush by our driveway that gives off these flowers periodically for months. I was just curious as to what it was aswell.

Lastly, are these safe for a Sulcata to eat?

Last photo looks like a wild rose to me. My tortoises love rose flowers.

Take a look at pictures of Bachelor Button and see if it looks like that first picture.

Pic #2 is a wild rose, aka Newport Rose. My hermannis aren't fond of them, but most torts really love roses. Plant #1, I have never seen.

Doesn't look like what my mom and grandma called Bachelor Button...

The blue one looks like blue plumbago "toxic" but I would Google it to compare phoros
