A leisure walk from Tampines to Pasir Ris. From pic 10 and a few subsequent photos after that, u can see the trumpet tree. The trumpet tree is a native tree of South America. Flowering occurs twice a year, around April and August, usually after a dry spell. The blooms last for a few days. During this period, the tree is entirely covered with blossoms. When they fall after a day or two, they form a pink carpet on the ground.
