Trumpet trees are starting to flower in Singapore due to the dry spell.

Fret not, you can still enjoy the sight of blooming pink flowers in abundance without leaving the country.

Singapore experienced thundery showers in the first half of March, with the Meteorological Service Singapore forecasting warm and dry weather for the rest of the month. “It’s intriguing to see this kind of tree here. It makes me feel like I’m not in Singapore,” she said. The Trumpet Tree is native to tropical America but was introduced here between 1983 and 1985, along with more than 300 species of plants to beautify Singapore’s roads and parks.

Unlike the Trumpet Tree blooms, the yellow trumpet flowers on the Golden Bell trees can be seen blooming for long periods or even all-year round. A semi-deciduous climbing shrub with leaves resembling a butterfly, it has flowers that can range from red to orange and are borne in clusters near the ends of its branches. Its fruit is a narrow brown pod.
