Rosy Trumpet Tree | Flower Appreciation
Introduction
There are over 1600 parks and gardens under the management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) across Hong Kong. Featuring green canopies and seasonal blooms all year round, such parks and gardens draw crowds of flower viewers taking pictures during flowering seasons. Among an array of flowering plants, some species are in particular popular with visitors. To facilitate members of the public to appreciate flowers in a timely manner, we will make available on this website the information on those beloved species, including Red Leaves, Rosy Trumpet Tree, Cherry Blossom, Yellow Pui, Camel's Foot Tree, Rhododendron, Queen Crape Myrtle and Lotus Flower.

Scientific Name: Tabebuia pentaphylla
It is a tree in the family Bignoniaceae native to the tropical regions, with height reaching up to 25 metres and with a wide canopy. Blossoming in early spring, it bears lots of light pink flowers with little foliage. Thanks to its bountiful flowers and a profusion of fallen petals, it looks as if there was a light pink carpet on the ground underneath, thereby having a high ornamental value.
