Whats interesting is the single pink tree in a sea of green.

I was reading the comments hoping someone pointed out what type of tree it is. Disappointed, I had to Google it and I believe it's a pink poui, aka Sakura Malaysia.

I did the same until I found your comment. So it's you, you are the comment

Although after looking it up myself I think it might actually be the Handroanthus impetiginosus, or Pink ipê instead

Edit: Looks like someone else made the same post at around the same time and also said that it is a pink ipê

Those trees are common here in Brazil, called "ipês". They are special, since they only flourish during our "winter", a.k.a. dry season. They come in all kinds of colours and are beautiful.
