The picture 2 - Buddleia globosa, just wondered if this is a weed or a plant because my son has this growing in his school garden. Would you feed the leaves / flowers or all the plant?
Thanks |

Hiyah, some people see buddleia as a weed as some species of it grow really fast and
take over but you can buy buddleias from the garden centre so I guess it's a garden plant. I believe tortoises can eat both leaves and flowers .
