'Cherry blossoms' in bloom in Penang


GEORGE TOWN: It’s "Sakura" season again in Penang. The tecoma, fondly called Penang Sakura because of its similarities to the popular cherry blossom, is proving to be a big hit this year.

In Penang, nearly 10,000 such trees have been planted, including 3,000 in the Seberang Perai district, and the flowers are now creating a carpet of colours on the ground, adding to the aesthetic effect.
