Singapore; seeking those purple flowers plants

Gotan

hi

I am doing a project in Singapore,

I saw those purples flowers everywhere, on pedestrian bridge, highway to airport...

anyone knows that type of plant?

Or any other > plants that is healthy and grows easily?

I think it may be a Singapore Orchid...
quick google search found me that...on a florist site

It is the Vanda Miss Joaquim species of orchid which is Singapore's national flower.

@ Gotan - i've got the answer for you. Bougainvilleas!
I don't think they plant orchids on pedestrian bridge.
They do have a lot of orchids in the country but those are denbrobiums (an orchid species) which bloom freely in a tropical country.

Bougainvilleas are the bane of my existence.

Pruning them is so laborious. And the thorns?!? OMIGOD, THE THORNS.
