ID help on two weeds.

This is the first one. http://i.minus.com/iQpADCBzAi3BO.JPG
I think it COULD be Little Mallow, but I'm not positive.

This is the second. http://i.minus.com/ibyfn7yt8hInI5.JPG
I thought perhaps it could be Nipplewort but I really have no idea. We have it ALL OVER so it would be great if it was edible.

Thanks in advance!

The first one is mallow, but the second one isn't nipplewort. Don't know what it is.

Great, so the first one is fine to feed?

yes, mallow is good... no clue what the other one is tho... is it a weed or a larger plant? does it bloom?

I haven't seen a bloom. It's spreading all over like crazy and so far it's only about four inches high in these mini bushes. I really have no idea what it is.

Does the second one have a smell? It looks like some type of mint the way it leaf formations are growing, those stay pretty short if they have room to run. But this looks a tad shiny for specifically mint... hmm. Maybe a related type.

No mint smell. It is really glossy too and it has tiny spines along the leaf. I really have no idea what it could be.

Still no info on this?

I agree on the mallow. Take a sample of the other one to a local nursery. It sure looks like something a tortoise would like, but I don't know what it is either.

Is it hibiscus leaves it looks like it to me but I'm nor sure.

You can email pics (and questions) to the Tortoise Table. Within a few days, they always get back to me.
Look to the right on their home page for the link to plant ID
