Brings back memories of when Stewart's Orchids was there. We'd drive down for the SB show, then hit all the vendors and all the nurseries. Stewart's was always phenomenal - but I'm a catt lover. Due to a variety of business reasons Stewart's moved to the greater Natchez area, & later went out of business. A black day indeed. The stock was sold off and the Connoseur's Collection was sold to afficianados. I wonder if any remnant of orchid business lingers in Natchez? Anyone know?
