Hi All,

I have 2 pics of different flowering plants and I am wondering if they are any good to feed to Terry, our 1.5 year old marginated.

Any advice always welcome, thanks.

The second is Bougainvillea - feed in Moderation according to The Tortoise Table Plant Database

The blue one looks like a type of Vinca (also called Periwinkle). The plants have medicinal uses for humans, so if it is indeed a Vinca, it is probably not poisonous to tortoises, but I would recommend checking the link posted above before feeding it.

I just looked on the Tortoise Table link myself, and it says NOT to feed Periwinkle/Vinca.

The first one is Plumbago. I don't think it's good for torts. Second as others said bfr- Bougevvilla

I agree with Pearly - Plumbago auriculata
