Hi Claire,

Not sure, but that POSSIBLY could be buttercup? The weed of it, I think. I had that confusion yesterday. I thought it was speedwell

Mum did, actually. And buttercup weed is toxic. But don't take my word for it until someone confirms

when I dug this out there were little bulbs on the base of the stems, so thinking its a flower of some sort. Ive have dug it all out now. If its confirmed as safe I will let it grow back. Thanks for your reply

Its a Cranesbill which is a type of wild Geranium. Tortoises can eat it but its not a big favourite with mine, last thing on the plate

Flowers should look like the picture on the left here
