If I'm not mistaken, that would be oxalis. Not good to feed to tortoises.

See if you can find vegetable seeds to buy. Any of the vegetable plants would be ok to grow for your tortoise except tomato, potato, egg plant. The tortoises will eat the leaves and the blossoms and if it gets to the "fruit" stage, they'll eat that too. Rose of sharon is another good one. Mallow or Malva is good. Plantain. Gazania. Clover.
