My friend Paul and his Dad have created one of the most enchanting family fun experiences imaginable. Tip Top Tulips beckons with rows and rows of exuberantly hued perfectly symmetrical cups of joy.  Charlotte and I came home with an armful, that she easily picked herself. There are lovely and large Darwin Tulips, fancy Parrot Tulips, delicate Lily-flowered Tulips, Fringed Tulips, my favorite – the “Broken” Tulips with multi colored swirls, and many, many more varieties in a symphony of scintillating shades.

The afternoon we visited, there were dozens of families picking flowers and taking photos. Benches and chairs are placed strategically throughout the field for optimum portrait taking. Even though the light was not cooperating, as is so often the case on a New England afternoon in springtime, it didn’t stop us from having lots of fun and we managed to take some sweet photos for a lovely memento.

In the love language of flower giving, tulips symbolize a deep and perfect love, and also rebirth. Treat your Mom to a very special gift for Mom’s Day, which is this coming Sunday, May 12th, and bring her to Tip Top Tulips!  Sundays are especially fun at TTTulips, with picnic areas, lobster roll truck, goat yoga classes, and a very friendly collection of farm animals.

Tip Top Tulips is located at 20 Lowes Lane in Ipswich (Rt. 133), behind the Dairy Queen.
