Hi
Sorry to be a pain but can anyone tell me what these are? and are they any good for a tort?
I have looked on the net to see if I can find out but had no luck.
Thanks in advance

and just this one.
I thought I would put them all in thread rather than do one at a time.

thought I'd have a go at ID'ing them - I'm a little rusty at this so hopefully someone else can fill in the blanks
1 - dunno
2 - Buttercup : Deff NO to feeding to tort's
3 - Looks like a flowering Current plant, but not 100% sure
4 - Looks like Rosebay Willow herb - but again not 100%
5 - Aquilegia or Granny's Bonnet : Deff NO to feeding to torts
6 - sorry drawn a blank on that one to.

You might find it useful to post the pictures on other forums (eg Shelled Warriors) and see what feedback you get from there.

The 1st one is campanular (or how ever it is spelt!) yes torts can eat it... And the flowers when they come.

2nd is Buttercup, don't feed it.

3rd I think is flowering current... Don't feed it.

4 no idea what it is called, but I am sure I have seen it before and people said not to feed.

5 Sorry no idea at all

6 Is is a wild or trailing geranium? I have never given it to my torts, so I'm not sure

Have you tried Torts Nutrition on the yahoo groups? I'm a terrible gardner and I always use them to identify my plants.
