Thank you Edna. I hope it is. Tilly wants to eat it.

first one is chickweed, which is tortoise safe

second one is annual jewgrass, which is a grass and healthy too

If it's vinca, don't let her eat it.

Toxicity



The University of Arkansas categorizes vinca as a level 1 toxic plant. This categorization of toxicity states that the effects of ingesting this plant can range from stomach cramps to serious heart problems. In animals, some symptoms include low blood pressure, seizures, vomiting, coma and even death, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Okay, thanks. I just going to dig them out. You wrote vinca, I read zinna (I don't know how). I suspect that I am suffering from rat on the brain.

I am sorry, but I got a chuckle out of that. I also know it's not really a laughing matter, but how you worded it just struck me as funny.

Well, it is a bit funny I suppose.
