Little bit of information on Amelia county:

 Parts of Brunswick and Prince George counties created Amelia county in 1735.   General Robert E. Lee and his army during the civil spent the days of April 4 and 5 in 1865 at Amelia courthouse before his surrender to Ulysses S Grant at Appomattox.

Amelia known for it's minerals ,   Amazonite is  found at  Morefield mine in the county.   I have some that I collected from here years ago,  now need to go back.

The largest potato pancake with applesauce - Amelia county fair was home to.  It weighed over 2 and a quarter tons which meant 4 truckloads of potatoes were used.  It was made to raise funds for the German American national scholarship fund in 1986.

About three weeks ago we visited my Mom and took her to this little garden in Amelia Courthouse area.  

Entrance to garden

Can see Mom in the distance sitting in the pergola area catching the warm sun

Little nooks for to sit a spell and enjoy the plantings that surround.  Looks to be maybe "coral bells".

I am wondering if the plant is Monks hood

I love the color and the plant but can't have it with the grandchildren around

Mom is enjoying it.

I like the different textures and colors of the plants in this photo,  also the very old log cabin peeking through the bushes

This is one garden we enjoyed seeing this day and Mom was ready after sitting a spell for an afternoon nap....
