风铃木 (Tabebuia)

Kuching is awash in pink and white - not from the repainting of the buildings for Merdeka (National) Day but from the hundred of Tabebuia (风铃木) trees producing dense clusters of flowers. 

Only two varieties (out of hundreds) are to be found along the roads in Kuching - the pink (粉红) and the white (白) ones. I love the flowers strewn alongside the roads or walkways - make for very pretty pictures.The white ones are very difficult to photograph - we need to wait for clear blue sky to show off the flowers!

 

Finally clear blue skies ....
