'World's Only' ...
While doing an internet search for cacti and succulent dealers in Mississippi, I was astounded to learn the 'World's Only' Cactus Plantation was located in Edwards, Ms., on the outskirts of Jackson.
Although this is somewhatt of a drive from Gulfport, it makes for a nice days' outing- especially while soaking up some of the states' natural wonders, such as the Petrified Forest, close by in Flora.
The Cactus Plantation is a neat sprawling acreage dotted with greenhouses you can go into and buy cactus, succulents, bromeliads and other exotic plants.
Almost everything is potted and ready to go, but if it isn't, chances are you can buy a cutting-fresh off the plant! They also have an impressive array of 'in situ' plantings, with agaves several feet tall and wide.
According to the owner, they "Are open 364 days a year- we're only closed on Christmas."
I have aquired a lot of plants from here- if you're ever in Edwards-please go check it out! :)
