orchid tree blossoms

Aloha,

Im new so go easy on me please... Ive got the pen for my sulcata set up by the edge of a big orchid tree. I have not been able to find any information online if it is toxic. Any info?

Mahalo

Do you know the botanical name? Since orchids actually grow on other plants, I'm guessing it's not really an orchid per se.

If it's in the Bauhinia family, it's edible:

Yvonne, your right it is not really an orchid. It is in the Bauhinia family tho. Thanks for the reply! I plan to create a large grazing area for my Tortoise around this tree so I just wanted to check with the experts!
