Million Bells is one of my favorite flowering plants in the early summer. I think you’ll find this plant to be a good choice for the summer landscape in your Mississippi garden.

Million Bells are known botanically as Calibrachoa, and you may see them called by either name in garden centers. Regardless of what name they go by, you need to have some of these garden performers in your landscape.

"DaBear" on the move: Sightings in Richton

PERRY COUNTY, MS (WDAM)- Several sightings of a black bear have been reported in the Richton area since Sunday.

Wildlife authorities say it is the same bear captured last week near Highway 15 South in Jones County. The bear was fitted with a GPS tracking device and released back into the wild in an undisclosed location. They say it managed to travel more than 25-miles in less than a week to get to Richton.
