TECOMA TREES BLOOMING - MALAYSIA'S OWN SAKURA TREES @ TAMAN BATU MUDA KUALA LUMPUR
Similar to the sakura blossoms of Japan, Tecoma trees in Malaysia bloom in the pink or white varieties. These delicate blooms resemble little trumpets, with soft tissue paper-like petals that have earned it the nickname of 'tissue paper tree'. From February to March, these trees bloom their fullest in dry seasons that follow spells of heavy rain, drawing admiration from onlookers and Instagrammers looking to pepper their feeds with sakura snapshots.

Once a year, Malaysians across the country are welcomed by the brilliant bloom of the magnificent tabebuia rosea tree, also known as the tecoma or rosy trumpet tree – which flowers during the driest months of the year.
This “sakura” season, as its fashionably referred to by locals, shares much in common with the cherry blossoms of faraway Japan where tall shady trees burst into blooms of pink or white and carpets the ground with pleasant petals.
