We all know that spring is bluebonnet season in Texas but not everyone knows that tulips also abound this time of year. Texas Tulips, a farm in Pilot Point near McKinney, is filled with thousands of vibrant flowers waiting to be picked. See this gorgeous field of dreams for yourself this season!
The story of this lil' farm began more than 40 years ago in Holland, when Piet and Afra Koeman started a horticultural farm specializing in tulips.
Today, their son and his wife operate the first tulip field in Texas.
About 100 varieties of tulips in nearly all the colors of the rainbow grow here — but not all at once.
The types in bloom at any given time depend on what point during the season you visit. April is usually the last month the tulips are ripe for the picking, so you'd better hurry! You'll need at least a few hours if not more to walk through all the aisles and put together the perfect bouquet of tulips in Texas.
And Texas Tulips is easily an all-day event, with the fun including a hay maze for kids and if you get hungry, enjoy a treat at the concession stands. The friendly staff will even wrap your tulips in pretty tissue paper and put gel on the stems for preservation!
It's only $6 per person to enter the field and $2.50 for each flower you pick. Just look at the vibrant color of this El Nino bloom. Amazing!
We also love the multicolored varieties.
Whether you need a gorgeous photoshoot backdrop, want to spend some quality time outdoors with the family, or just like looking at pretty flowers, this breathtaking gem definitely belongs on your bucket list.
