Penstemon barbatus

We have a winner. Now I can't find anything on whether or not its edible. One site says its "resistant to rabbits and deer". Another site says Indians used it for various medicines, and chewed the root for some medicines.

Any leads on toxicity or edibility?

Only thing I could find was someone asking about dogs.

What about this? Edible for a Leopard? This is everywhere around my house.

Penstemon may be one of those YMMV plants. Do not feed from the tortoise table, but the science seems iffy to me.

Same plant family as plaintains; desert tortoises eat quite a few penstamons.

Looks like common vetch to me; feed sparingly.

I’d confirm it against some other pictures to be sure.
