Tassel flowers are in full bloom in Fuzhou, Fujian province.

The white petals resemble snowflakes and clouds as they decorate the white walls of ancient buildings in the Sanfangqixiang (Three Lanes and Seven Alleys) historic neighborhood. They are mixed with green leaves to create pleasant spring scenery that attracts many tourists.
