Columbine
It's interesting to note that I have a few 'volunteers' of this plant coming up this year and I've NEVER had columbine planted here in the past.

Thanks Yvonne. Same bird must have flown over mine and your house dropping seeds.
It's in the ranaculus family, which are listed as a do not feed in the tortoise table. I have a Russian and they eat quit a bit of that plant family in their native diet so I'd *personally* give it a try.
Can't speak to its appropriateness for other species.
You're both lucky to have it, it's beautiful. @Yvonne G , maybe it blew in with all the rain this year?

Is it from the same family as this plant. I have these growing all over the place in all-sorts of colors. Someone told me they were toxic, my redfoots will eat them to the ground if given the chance.
Columbine, i have them here on north side if the house. Started with one plant years ago and now they are all over. Pretty spring time bloomer but wanna say, should keep it away from the torts
They reseed very very easily. My neighbors grow them due to wind/birds spreading seed to their gardens
Craig I don't know my plants like Rosemary does but I suspect the original color of the columbine was yellow (yellow grows all over in Texas called Texas Columbine, considered one of Texas Natives for environment friendly gardening). All the other colors are probably result of people hybridizing/crosspollination, gmo...whatevers in order to get more variety. I have bought some of the varieties ;blues, reds, maroon, chocolate, white) and after few year later all the colors are gone and once again all i have is yellow!
To be clear, I am not recommending this as tortoise food; it's related to some pretty toxic stuff!
(I think it's clear but better safe than sorry!)
