Agati also known as: Dok Kae (Thai); So dua (Viet)

I found 2 kinds of edible flowers in an asian food store:

1. Agati Dok Kae (Thai); So dua (Viet)

2. Dok Sano

Does anyone know if these are ok for tortoises?

Since humans eat them I dont think they are toxic to torts but I wonder if they are high in proteins\sugers or something like that??

Anyone feed these?

P.S. I checked thetortoisetable, no info there.

I've never heard of these, however, in my opinion, if you can eat it, then so can your tortoise - just feed in moderation, as part of a more varied diet.

I don't know what So dua is but in vietnamese, la dua is banana leaves. And they usually boil, steam, or use it as a wrapping, and it will give out a nice fragrance to what they are cooking.
