The Tabebuia rosea, a perennial tree in Singapore that grows to about 18 to 35 m tall blooming with flowers here during this period between March and April. It is commonly known as the Trumpet Tree or Pink Poui but fondly known as “Singapore’s cherry blossoms”.

The word “rosea” in its genus name refers to the rose-coloured petals of the flower, although the flower is not a rose but in fact, a Begonia. It is commonly seen planted along roadsides or in parks and it provides good shade. Its flowering is induced by a dry spell, usually in April and August. The flowers are five-petalled, trumpet-shaped and grow to about 5 to 8 cm. These bloomed flowers last for several days before they start to wilt.
