But see all of the dollar weed I find is a complete circle, where as the ones I have has a split in the middle...are they still the same??
Hopefully this can be figured out because my yard is filled with them!Yeah... i see that yours has that split whereas the Pennywort pix and info i provided doesnt quite have it.
Let me tag @Iochroma who knows many more of these than me. I’m interested too. To be safe, I wouldnt feed until ID’d.
Good luck
I have it in my yard. I'm not sure what it is. But my tortoises ignore it completely.I have no personal experience, but that looks like what I've seen some of our Florida members call "dollar weed".
@ZEROPILOT can you confirm?
Take a sample to your local nursery. There is always a plant nerd that can answer your question.Hopefully this can be figured out because my yard is filled with them!
Duh! Didn’t even think about that lol...once I do I will update!Take a sample to your local nursery. There is always a plant nerd that can answer your question.
Check oncreeping charly, I have a yard full of it. Tortoise table says do not feed but there are members that feed it without any harm.But see all of the dollar weed I find is a complete circle, where as the ones I have has a split in the middle...are they still the same??
From Tort Table
We can find no evidence of toxicity of Navelwort, and so it is fine to feed to your tortoise as part of a wider, varied diet. The stems of this plant are deep pink and can often give the flowers a pinkish tinge.
- Common Name: Navelwort (Wall Pennywort, Navel Wort, Penny-pies, Pennywort, Kidneywort, Dollar Weed)
- Latin Name: Umbilicus rupestris
- Family Name: Crassulaceae
Do not confuse with other plants called Navelwort (particularly those in the Omphalodes genus), which look quite different and are different plants.
Also do not confuse with other plants called Pennywort (for example Marsh Pennywort) or Dollar Weed, both of which are in the genus Hydrocotyle, and although they look similar to Navelwort, they are from a different family of plants
