I planted this huechera (or hukera) plant last year, my first year with a garden here at the Moorings. I like the color of the leaves on this perennial. Heucheras come in many colors. The flowers are very tiny (called coral bells), and I have found it easier to concentrate on the leaves. I took this after watering one day in June.

Cee’s topic for her Black & White Photo Challenge this week is five – five things that are the same or different in any combination.
Taken at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, these beauties were the last of the tulip crop.
This is a daisy, I think. I took these photos on May 17, 2021 at Chicago Botanic Gardens.
I think this is some kind of daisy, but I’m not sure. Anyway, it sure is pretty! Photo taken at Chicago Botanic Gardens on May 17, 2021.
I captured these wide open tulips today in a neighbor’s garden and found them a perfect subject for Becky’s April Bright Squares and Cee’s FOTD 4/29/21.
It is almost time to start planting my garden this year. My perennials are showing new growth and my irises should bloom within the next few weeks. Daffodils still abound. I love flowers but I also like to plant vegetables, because there is no tomato so good as one that is homegrown!
Last year, I had an abundance of cherry tomatoes (I bought too many tomato plants – I’ll have to cut back this year!) and also a couple of pepper plants, which were nearly buried by the tomato plants growing out of control! Even so, I did manage to get a few green peppers. For Becky’s Bright Squares, today I am posting a photo of my first harvest last year – the first tomatoes and the first peppers! They were so bright and cheery, and made me happy as I looked forward to warmer days and more home-grown vegetables!
For Becky’s April Squares with the topic Bright, I am posting some “bright” flowers. These beauties were photographed in our community gardens last year.
