Singapore is glowing pink.

Trumpet tree flowers are in bloom across the island, beautifying the urban environment with its pink petals.

Shade-providing tree

The trumpet tree, whose scientific name is Tabebuia rosea, is commonly planted as a shade-providing tree in Singapore. It is commonly referred to as Singapore's version of the "Sakura".

It is native to tropical rainforests across South America.

The tree got its name from its trumpet-shaped flowers.

On Monday night, Sept. 10, the National Parks Board posted photographs of the trumpet tree flowers in full bloom at locations such as Singapore River and Hougang.

NParks wrote: “Planted along roadsides and parks, they provide us with shade and also a spectacular show of pink blooms when their flowers fall to the ground.”

To find individual trees, Singaporeans can head to trees.sg where 500,000 trees have been mapped.

Here are some of the flowers blooming across the island:
