It looks like the trumpet trees are in bloom again. The locals call it the Sakura season. This is because the trumpet tree is known for its impressive flowering display, where the entire tree is spectacularly covered in blossoms, like the Cherry blossom in Japan. These trees are along my walk route. So, it is always a joy to see them bloom. They add so much colour to the route.

The tree’s name comes from its trumpet-shaped flowers, which range in colour from pink to white. The scientific/botanical name for the trumpet tree is Tabebuia rosea, and they can grow up to 24 meter tall.

This is just the beginning of the blooms. Some of the trees haven't start blooming yet. It will be more impressive, absolutely divine, when all the trees bloom, and are at their peak.

It was a very hazy day here yesterday, so the pictures are not very clear, which is a pity.

This is a young trumpet tree. I noticed there are quite a few of them on one end of the route. It would be great when they are grown and blooming. More colours on the walk route.

While the flowers fall, they retain their colour for a couple of days, forming a beautiful carpet of flowers around the tree. They bloom twice a year, each season lasting a week to 10 days.

I like to stand and watch the flowers spiraling down. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up very clearly on the video.
