Today, Sunday, March 26th was the last day of tulip season at Texas Tulips in Pilot Point, Texas. We ventured out in hopes of capturing some beautiful photos and selecting a few pretty tulips for our home vase.
When you first arrive at Texas Tulips you receive a basket for holding the stems you pick.
The entrance fee is $3 per person, but with today being the last day and almost all the tulips being picked over, they only charged us $1 each. The stems we picked were still $2.50 each.
I love the variety of tulips they offer and cannot wait to visit again next season.
I was pretty bummed we missed seeing all the rows full. Several rows were completely empty. The owner said they had a crowd of over 2,000 people throughout the day yesterday!
Although most of the tulips were either fully bloomed and beyond what I wanted to pick or already gone, I still enjoyed viewing what was left.
I was able to still gather four tulips that I loved.
I picked two pink and two purple that will look nice together in a single vase.
When it came time to leave, upon purchasing they wrapped my bouquet in tissue paper and covered the bottom of the stems with gel to keep them fresh.
It’s too bad you didn’t get to see the fields two days before you went. It’s still a bit early, but it won’t be long before tulips will come up in Michigan. I love the basket you used for your tulips…and the way they kept them nice for you on your trip home with the gel.
I’ve never even heard of something like this! I love how you can go and pick your own! I’m just so amazed 🙂
Can’t get flowers any fresher than that. These are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing
I like this idea,I wish we had the farms like that here in NJ.
Awesome, we have a tulip place here in Canada too, I’ve been there 🙂
Wow, I would love to visit a tulip farm like this. Sounds amazing.
