pink and white flowering trees by the roadside

So we’ve often only just shown you the rooftop garden which is convenient for us and looks pretty nice for pictures. But in the last week, a surprise has taken over some parts of the island.

What’s the surprise?

Well, this:

According to the news, it is not only these trumpet trees that are blooming. A variety of trees and plants across the island are too, and I’ve been enjoying the view from the car a fair bit. ; )

On Channelnewsasia.com, the director of streetscape at the National Parks Board (NParks), was quoted to suggest that the dry spell in the previous months, followed by days of rain, could have triggered the mass flowering.

And pretty soon, the streets are just covered with these fallen pastel blooms.


They turn brown too soon.

The photos are perfect for creating floral pet portraits using double exposures! Find out how here.
