Okay. This has been an ongoing thing (with me) and I just end up getting way too confused! I've heard it all - all creeping charlie is toxic, only some is toxic, all are safe and so on :confused: What the deal with this stuff? TheTortoiseTabel says no, but then I found another website listing a few variations are okay... There is quite a bit here, in all different sizes and shapes, but I have yet to find the (correct?) toxicity level for this plant. I even found a thread here- http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/creeping-charlie-and-homes.7294/ -?
Thank you :D

-which looks DELICIOUS. (to a tort:p )
The purple flowers looks so yummy! :confused: good to be careful, though :(
I also have the second pic... it can also be called creeping jenny, and golden money wart. You can actually but it at garden stores, believe it or not! It doesn't flower much, though, and that's about the only part my guys will eat :(

I don't think mine flowers. I mean, it has to reproduce somehow, but I've seen a flower.
