Penang Sakura Blossom
Every year during early quarter of the year from February to March, Penang have Sakura blossom. It happens almost everywhere is Penang but there are more near the Bayan Baru and Bayan Lepas area. The most beautiful will be at Bayan Lepas Technoplex area. Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone and Technoplex is just basically a very smaller version of silicon valley in US. Smaller as very very small. OnlyPenang blogs contains more pictures during the mid of the season. VisitPenang site also post the pictures about this event. This "Penang Sakura Tree" actually consist of several species name Tabebuia Rosea, Pink Tecoma, Rosy Trumpet Tree.
Although it bloom every year around near end of February till earlier April, this year 2014 are the most beautiful and happening. This is due to the dry weather that it had not been raining for continuous 2 months. Such hot and dry weather somehow follow with beautiful flower blossom. It was explain that due to the dry weather, the tree attempts to survive by passing down next generation with blooming more flowers. Just like what happens in Japan and Korea that Sakura bloom after winter.
