TULIP TIME

What better way to celebrate Spring and May Day 

than with fields & fields of beautiful colorful Tulips.

"It's Tulip Time in Holland every year in May"

 Tulip Time, Nelis Tulip Farm, Holland, Michigan

The Mid-May blooming of three million tulips massed at the bulb farms and bordering miles of city streets provides the signal for three thousand Dutchmen to don the quaint costumes and wooden shoes of their forefathers and stage eight days of festivities.
