they are not mallow either I don't think and I've looked at bramble and they are pointed so it can't be them either I have seen them often though but can't think what they are

I think the second one is wood avens Geum Urbanum which is not edible for tortoises.

The musk mallow will usually do well from seed. It would be worth getting a cheap packet of them and shallow raking them into a patch of bare ground round about now or in April. If you are keen to have some mallows.
