The inspiration behind the name!


a little story on the tamarisk tree….


Just like the legendary tamarisk tree, we intend to capture the eternal moments of beauty and significance in every occasion …and do it with style and grace.
 (tæmərɪsk)
–noun
1.       of various ornamental trees and shrubs of the genus Tamarix,  of the Mediterranean region and South East Asia, having scalelike leaves,
        slender branches, and feathery clusters of pink or whitish flowers
        : family Tamaricaceae

Long time ago, in a faraway land, there was a wise man who planted an ancient tree. The graceful tree had long feathery branches and tufts closely lad with minutes of leaves. And in springtime, the tree would be surmounted with spikes of beautiful pink blossoms, which seem to envelop the whole tree in one gauzy brilliance of colour and light.
The tamarisk tree, as it was called has the miraculous ability to survive in harsh environments, the drier the soil the more beautiful the flowers. No one knew what happened to that particular first tamarisk tree after that, but in some legends the tree grew strong and old but never died. But that would be another story for another day, at another blog. :)

“ Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God.”
  Genesis 21:33
