This is too funny! I am Korean and this plant/flower is called Yuchae flower. It looks really pretty and its Korean name is really pretty, too. I don't know what the person who named its English name was thinking!

Oh and I belive it's okay because it's edible even from young leaves. I ate it many times(the flower and other parts) when making flower pancakes. But it's high in protein so just feed small amount and you'll be fine. And your tortoise wont get raped!Lol

The name derives from the Latin for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, and is first recorded in English at the end of the 14th century.

Rapeseed is a common ingredient in bird seeds, however the seed is high in tannins.
You intellectuals take all the fun out of something silly.

Yes, the flower is really beautiful, and a field full of them is even more so. The last time I visited Korea with my wife, we saw a huge field of them in Kyeong Ju (경주). It's a well-known spot where a lot of newlyweds go to have pictures taken. We weren't newlyweds, but we snapped a couple of shots, too. ;)
