The Yesterday Today and Tomorrow plant (Brunfelsia)

[Romie]

Hello all, does anyone know if the plant
Yesterday Today and Tomorrow (Brunfelsia) is poisonous to torts? I didn't see it on the CTTC poisonous plant list.

From the 'net:

While these flowers are pretty, offer months of blooms and give off a sweet-smelling fragrance, it is important to note that these plants also contain poisonous alkaloids and may not be the best choice for households with young children. Seeds from the flowers are poisonous and berries from the Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow plants are especially toxic. To avoid accidental poisoning, caution should be taken and extra safety measures put into place such as adult supervision when toddlers, young children or pets are playing outdoors.

+ 1 to Yvonne's find. Most plants in the Solanum family should not be eaten (by tortoises).
