Spring brings lots of plants; looking for guide with photos. Recommendations?

[eric joranson]

Now that spring has sprung; all kinds of new grasses and weeds are beginning to emerge. I used to have a site bookmarked that had photos of plants and if edible or toxic to tortoises The site is no longer available, I have gone through posts that are always a help. But I am hoping there is a source with photos to ID plants; grasses; and flowers; especially regarding their safety around or as food for tortoises. Lists that have names are helpful; but I am no botanist and there are many I recognize; but have no name (common of scientific) for. So something with photos if most helpful. What do members here recommend?

Now that http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk is no longer an active site, I use http://africantortoise.com/edible_landscaping.htm
They list most plants with the English and Latin spelling and then I do a google image search for what I think the plant is. Hope this helps…

Sucks that tortoise table isn't active anymore. That's what I always used for questionable plants

Huh?

It's alive and well! They just launched a new look. It's a great site for food plant identification
