Does anyone know what these are and if they’re safe to feed a Hermann? Leaves and stalks are hairy like nettles

More info: I'm on Gozo, so in the Med between Sicily and Africa. The plant is growing wild in local playground

How beautiful. Its one of the Scented Pelargomiun (if you brush the leaves with your hand you will see why) and they are fine to feed tortoises in moderation.
Here is our entry -- https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/pla ... nt=239&c=5
We do need to update our photos and are getting around to that now but if you would like to send us your photos in high resolution along with your name for crediting we can add your one as well.
It needs to go to contact@thetortoisetable.org.uk.
Many thanks

Lin
