Many Filipinos are aware of the Cherry blossom season in Japan and they usually envy the Japanese for having such a great and beautiful flower.
As for me though, while I also admire the great beauty of cherry blossoms even if just through pictures, I think we have the capacity of creating our own local attraction with our native or nativized flora.

What people should reaize is that it while the cherry blossoms are beautiful in themselves, it is what the Japanese people did, planting thousands of trees, planting strategically with a view to how it can look in the future and taking very good care of the trees that enhanced the beauty of the flowers and enabled a tradition to grow around it.
