Can my Sulcata eat this flower?

Can my Sulcata eat this? I have no idea what it is. I'm in Southeast Texas, but I have no idea if this is indigenous to the area. It's in my wife's flower bed. Thanks guys and gals.

I believe what you have there is Morning Glory. Perhaps with some research you can determine the type of Morning Glory. Some are safe.

I'm not an expert with tortoise diets so wait for more advice on this. What I do know is that the seeds can be toxic. I'm sorry that I couldn't be more help but I'm sure someone will add to this soon.

Nagh, I’m pretty sure these are not Morning Glorys….but darn i can’t remember the name quickly. Morning Glorys grow on long spindly climbing vines. This plant (pictured) is more of a bush.

Aaagh - Four-O-Clock….

Thanks guys and gals! I guess I need to just break down and buy some seed and grow some geraniums and such. See ya.

Not geraniums really… there are a lot better things that you can grow, especially in Texas.
