First time poster. I live in SE Asia and have two Cherry Heads on their way to me. I am planning an outdoor enclosure and so I am trying to identify all the plants near their enclosure to make sure they're safe. Google lens keeps tell me this is Hibiscus it's not the 5 petal flower I've seen. Anyone want to identify this for me or confirm it's hibiscus?

Hi Kyle,

Your photo of the plant didn't upload. You need to click on the Attachment tab, then on Add Files, and then Place Inline. It won't take photos in high resolution, so you have to reduce it in size -- here are more detailed instructions on how to upload photos: http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/site ... hp?f=4&t=3
If it doesn't work for you, then just send me your photo ( nina@thetortoisetable.org.uk ) and I will reduce it in size and post it on this thread for you.

Best,
Nina

Hi Kyle
Your flower is a Mediterranean Hibiscus, one of the multi or double flowered variety and tortoises love them, both leaves and flowers.
Here is our entry for it.
