Help! Flower / Plant ID?

[Pipp]

I was out with Mikey taking spring pics and he managed to munch down a few different flowers before I could get to him.

Can anybody ID the flowers? Here's hoping there weren't any pesticides. I gave him plenty to eat before we went out, but he still nibbled. He's acting pretty low key at the moment, although it's his 'low key' time. But I'm still worried.

I am not a plant expert, but the yellow flowerskindaresemble snapdragons. It's hard to tell in the pic. (However, I'm not sure if snapdragons are safe for rabbits to eat--I've seen info both that they are and they aren't! )

The white and red flowersin the border are English Daisies (bellis perennis),which are totally safe for buns to munch.

Hope that helps!

I found this site:
http://www.realtimerendering.com/flowers/flowers.html
And entered what I could from the picture. What came up closest (also after looking at pics) was "hoary puccoon". This is only a wildflower database, as well.

They look a lot like this plant:

Missed the notification, sorry!

Thanks so much for your help! I had no idea there were so many flowers out there and how hard they are to find online. I wasn't getting anywhere at all.

Based on the soil and blooming info, I'm pretty sure the winner is the perfectly safe Hoary Puccoon -- which is going to make for an interesting (if not impossible!) caption on my spring bunny contest photo!

On the other hand, the narrowleaf evening primrose would have made for a lovely caption! But it's also on a few 'toxic for rabbits' lists. :shock:

His poops are okay, no problem with his appetite, he's still a little low key but I'm sure he's fine.
