The recent dry-hot spell in Singapore brings up the blooming trees at Hougang 21. It resembles the pink/white Cherry-Blossom of Japan fame.

From the very interesting NParks Trees website, these blooming trees are Tabebuia Rosea, also known by many other names like pink poui, rosy trumpet tree. It flowers in January/February, August/September and also in times of dry hot periods, which is in this dry hot and haze Singapore weather recently. According to NParks, these pink poui are 22 years since planting.

These is probably the only good side effect from the dry hot haze season.
