Dreams of witnessing the iconic cherry blossoms of Japan��s Sakura trees in person may have withered on the vine, but Singapore can settle for some very similar-looking trees that showing their colors this month.

Singapore��s got pretty pink flowers of its own courtesy of stands of Trumpet trees, aka Tabebuia rosea, blooming now throughout the country��s parks, from Tampines to Jurong. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong even gave the trees a shoutout today.

��Over the weekend, you may have seen our trees and shrubs taking on beautiful and colourful hues in estates and neighbourhood parks across Singapore. While they look like Japan��s sakura blossoms, you won��t have to travel far to see these displays!�� he wrote.

According to , the trees, a type of begonia, grow to upward of 35-meters high.While the trees flower for only a few weeks around the same time as the famed cherry blossoms, each Trumpet flower, which grows to about 5 centimeters, only blooms several days before withering.

The trees have been spotted at River Valley, Jurong and in neighborhood parks like that of Tampines Sun Plaza Park and Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.

Finally the Sakura season Singapore version is back guys!!! 🌸

For those unimpressed, real Sakura flowers can be found in Gardens by the Bay��s flower dome.
