TABEBUIA ROSEA

The flowering of these groves of Tabebuia rosea outside the Bayfront MRT entrance/exit is so spectacular that it never fails to attract lots of attention from passersby to capture its ephemeral beauty.

I forgot to post about this last year after it flowered. These are photos of the trees after the flowering is over and the fruit capsules and winged seeds, typical of Bignoniaceae Family, are produced in mass quantities.

The flowering of this single tree hardly matched the spectacle from last year. When would they burst into yellow balls again, I wonder?

I hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to put this up because the flowering Tecomas are a relatively common sight in our urban landscapes.

Anyway, I am doing it now because I remembered lots of visitors and staff pausing in their tracks when they emerged from the Bayfront MRT exit and whipped out their cameras of camera phones to capture this magnificent phenomenon of the flowering Tecomas on a daily basis from end July to August. This is the welcome greeting one received upon stepping foot into the garden. What is notable was also the fact that the flowers bloomed in the form of various shades of pink and a white.
