This one is from Western Australia - no koalas there. I bet it is distasteful. I would not try it.
and this weed ?
Hi Leopard I had a hard time with your photos, but if it actually is a tridax daisy it is perfectly edible and harmless. Edible for people and I would let my tort eat it without any issues. Here's an edible weed website that gives it's nutrition info: http://www.eattheweeds.com/galinsoga-ciliata-quickweed-is-fast-food-2/ ***I just really want to caution you to be totally certain that this is tridax daisy, because this plant has a very similar looking relative ( Tridax procumbers) that to my understanding is POISONOUS to everyone. I'm not super familiar with the Tridax procumbers and am not sure how to tell the difference, so I would encourage you to really investigate and make sure it isn't the non-edible relative.happen to chance upon it , found it to be tridax daisy , anyone feed this ?
Huh, I have a handy-dandy edible weed guide that I'll take a gander at. I have been thinking that "tridax daisy" is also named "quick weed." I'll see what I can find and get back to you.tridax daisy = tridax procumbers , from what i search , is there a similar named weed ?
this mention that green turtles died
