Pink and white florets suddenly appear
Myriad of colours in February
Of white, pink, and dark pink blooms
Tabebuia, Tecoma, or Trumpet Trees
Native to the American tropics…
In stark contrast to the cloudless blue sky
With the average temperature of 33°C
‘Tis the monsoon tropical spring
When blooms beckon in abundance
Temporary entertainment for the bloom lovers
With a smartphone in hand
Taking selfies and snapshots
To immortalize the short-lived springtime…
