Hi Everyone.
Could you please help identify these plants for me. They grow in the field next to me and i was not able to identify them on picture this. And then the geranium is identified on picture this as garden geranium but when I look it up on the tortoise table the plant looks nothing like what they have pictured.
Thank you for your help in advance.xs_1529072611526.jpeg20180615_162858.jpegxs_1529072488372.jpegxs_1529072670527.jpeg20180615_163322.jpeg20180615_162905.jpeg20180615_162939.jpeg20180615_162944.jpegxs_1529073625483.jpeg20180615_164006.jpeg

The first one looks like ice plant, but I'm not sure - if so, edible
The second, third and fourth are mallow - edible
fith?
sixth?
and the rest of the pictures don't open because of my slow internet

That's because yours is NOT a geranium. It's mallow

@Yvonne G, you can’t see the last two pictures, correct? Those two are geranium, just dormant. They are fine to feed, but will look more like geraniums when it warms up.

Pretty sure the yellow ones are bush daisy. Opinions vary; mine is that is fine in moderation.

8 & 9 look like a mallow to me. Can you post some pictures from another angle? Top-down pics are not the best for IDs

Sorry last night was dark by the time i got home.

The first 3 will be what i think are the geranium and the 4.5.6 are what the others are saying are mallow. Then do you by any chance know what the plant in the last two are as well. I found it when taking the photos.20180619_174146.jpeg20180619_174159.jpeg20180619_180034.jpeg20180619_174300.jpeg20180619_180124.jpeg20180619_180111.jpeg20180619_180133.jpeg20180619_174440.jpeg20180619_174445.jpeg

I still see geranium and mallow. I’m no plant expert but we have lots of geranium here and it’s unmistakable.

Yes i think so too. I was asked for different angles. I was just worried because on the tortoise table it had a different picture and i wasn't sure if there was another kind of geranium or not.

I know plants in different countries look different but yours look like mine here in the US. My tortoise supply seeds throw dandelion that looks different from mine and in winter when I buy dandelion it looks different from both so I’m sure geranium has variations as well.

Good to know. Thanks so much. Getting to know the plants and weeds is a whole occupation in itself. [emoji23] [emoji23]
