See Singapore in bloom with these Instagrammable flowers

Why travel to Japan just to catch the cherry blossoms when Singapore has beautiful blooms of its own. Trumpet flowers are in full bloom right now and can be found by the expressways, in parks and along the river. So, basically everywhere on the island. Besides being trumpet-shaped, these flowers are easily recognisable by their shade, which ranges to blush pink to fuchsia. And when the leaves fall to the floor, it's quite the spectacle. Don't believe us? Here's some proof from thestrigger-happypy snappers on Instagram.

We might not experience four seasons but this is the time of the year when our flowers bloom due to the heavy showers after a hot dry spell. So enjoy our own version of “spring” in Singapore! #sgblooms2018

When we think of blossoming trees, Japans Sakura usually is the first thing that comes to mind. But did you know that Singapore has its own Sakura? Twice a year even! The recent rains after a long dryspell have caused many trees to burst in blooms. Pretty!
