I found these 3 types of wildflowers while out yesterday. I picked a ton of them without even thinking they can be poisonous to a Russian Tortoise. Can anyone tell me if these are safe?

Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

My oh my - you certainly do have some pretty wildflowers in your area. Sorry, but I don't recognise them. Let's send a shout out to @Iochroma

The third one is sweet rocket, aka dame's rocket. It has many names. It's alright in moderation.

I don't recognize the first two.

Oh thanks :) my husband and I went for a walk yesterday and I just assumed a diet of weeds and wildflowers was fine and didn't matter what kind. I felt so dumb when my husband of all people said uuummm you might want to check just to be safe.

Sorry, I can't help, but it would be easier if you could show the whole plant, not just the flowers. Especially the first one is nearly impossible to identify without the leaves.

I'll have to remember that next time. I didn't think of this until after we got home :/

Hi Cailin www.thetortoisetable.org.uk will tell you if plants are safe or not, but you really need to know the names and I find that is the hard part. Welcome to the forum
