Trumpet Flowers Bloom Around Singapore, View ‘Sakura’ At Your Doorstep
April marks the time of the year when tourists flock to Japan to catch the cherry blossom season.
For those feeling strong FOMO, mope no further as you can engage in a more accessible ‘sakura viewing’ in Singapore.
Trumpet trees on our shores have begun to bloom, painting dots of gorgeous pink on our cityscape.
These tend to last only a few days before wilting, so be sure to snap some picturesque shots before it’s too late.

Keep an eye out for the trees on the way home after a long day, as these shots taken in Punggol Central prove that they look equally beautiful against a darker evening backdrop.

Snap pictures while they’re still around
These Trumpet Trees usually bloom for several days before they start to wilt.
However, romantic shots are still available for the taking, even after the flowers begin to wilt.
Just look at this image from last year’s season, which shows a dreamy carpet of pink floating on the water after the trees shed their flowers.
