Answer
I know wading through the web for this kind of thing can get tiresome, but I'm going to point you to another site, one I have great faith in- the California Turtle and Tortoise Club's site- www.tortoise.org

You'll find lists of plants (in 'General Info')and check out the 'Chelonian Archives' for info specific to Hermann's.

So far, however, I'd say you were doing pretty well!
