You won't find cherry blossoms in Malaysia, but you will get Tecoma trees that mimic them. The trumpet flowers even bloom around the same season as the cherry blossoms, Spring time in March in Japan. The colours of pink and white petals magically carpet the roads. Tecoma trees with the yellow flowers (Tecoma sans) have been linked with treating diabetes and digestive ailments. So there you go, Beauty with Medicinal Powers.
