Colourful flowers like pink ‘Sakura’ bloom on trees across S’pore amid warm weather conditions

Flowers of various colours bloom on trees during Singapore ‘Sakura’ season

With so much greenery everywhere, Singapore has earned the nickname ‘Garden City’, which especially describes what the island country looks like now. Singapore is experiencing its own ‘Sakura’ season, with not just pink blooms but flowers of all colours growing on trees.

NParks and Minister for National Development Desmond Lee took to social media to share some stunning images of the plants in bloom.

They also invited Singaporeans to share their photographs of the blossoms they may come across.

And share they did. Many Facebook users have contributed to the growing collection in the comment section of both NParks’ and Mr Lee’s posts.
