Flowers
Does everyone torts like flowers or is it just henny. Dervla brought her in some forsytia from school she hates it, won't touch roses. She will eat pansies but only if thats all she gets if its mixed with weeds she will eat the weeds first. I am growing wall flowers and nasturtiums to see if she will eat these .I don't give her any romaine lettuce either should I give it to her.

Please check plant toxicity before offering to torts, not all know what is good and what is not. Forsythis is not good and I am sure I have read somewhere that wallflowers should not be fed either
