None of those are weeds but garden plants, including Foxglove, Cistus, Primula and Stonecrop/Sedum which is edible but I would just stick to weeds that you know and be safe.

1. Not sure
2. Foxglove 3. Dont know which one you mean, there are a few in pic 4. Bristly Oxtongue 5. Foxglove 6. Primula, Cowslip 7. Primula, Cowslip 8. Rabbit Ears? 9. Could be Wallflower 10. Sedum If these are correct I think you could feed Bristly Oxtongue and Sedum Your numbering went wrong as you missed out 6 so I have listed them as 1 to 10 top to bottom. |

Well, they are of course all plants but most of those you are showing are from cultivated stock, either grown as a garden plant or a seed blown there. Weeds are plants that grow where they shouldn't! Weeds can also be called Wild Flowers, mostly what would grow wild in the countryside. I know it can be confusing because some wild flowers are cultivated. However, rather than get into a pickle over what is what, experience usually will dictate if they are just tortoise edible weeds, or not. Does that help?
