Thanks to:
First of all, – I want to honour two of the most outstanding dendrologists in the world: Vicomte Philippe de Spoelberch and Koen Camelbeke of Arboretum Wespelaar, Haacht near Brussels. Because of their kindness the magnolia section of the website has been lifted up to another and unexpected level. Images marked PdS and KC.

Also thanks to Maria Swinnens, Derek St Romaine, Paco Garin and Tatyana Polyakova. The lilac and teacup image of Derek St Romaine has been my favourite photo on this planet since almost thirty years. Tatyana Polyakova of International Lilac Society has contributed in cases when my own lilac images were not sufficient. Still some of the very best on the internet: Paco Garins magnolia pictures from Iturraran Botanical Garden near San Sebastiian. And Maria Swinnens’ wonderful image from Arboretum Wespelaar in Belgium simply had to be the front page window welcome to our universe of magnolias & lilacs.

Books and reading always were a passion in life for me since I was a young boy; – especially in cold days autumn and winter. I want to thank everybody on the literature list of acknowledgements, for sharing their knowledge, but also for being a source of inspiration to my own writing.

Finally I want to honour Silja Digranes who step by step tailored the website to fit my taste and furthermore please my demanding and pedantic wishes.

Engersand, April 2024. Arild Johan Landsnes.

Takk til:
Først vil jeg takke to av verdens dyktigste dendrologer: Vicomte Philippe de Spoelberch og Koen Camelbeke fra Arboretum Wespeleaar, Haacht utenfor Brussel. På grunn av deres store generøsistet har magnolia-delen av dette nettstedet blitt løftet opp på et annet og uventet nivå. De aktuelle bildene er merket PdS og KC.

Jeg vil også gjerne takke Maria Swinnens, Derek StRomaine, Paco Garin og Tatyana Polyakova. Derek St Romaine sitt nostalgiske bilde med syriner i vase, tekopp, bok og briller har vært mitt favorittbilde på denne planeten i snart tretti år. Tatyana Polyakova fra International Lilac Society har bidratt der hvor jeg selv har manglet syrinbilder. Stadig noen av de aller beste på internett: Paco Garins magnolia-bilder fra Iturraran Botaniske Hage nær San Sebastian! Og Maria Swinnens vidunderlige magnoliabilde fra Arboretum Wespelaar i Belgia var ganske enkelt det rette velkomstbilde som entré til vårt univers av magnolia og syriner.

Bøker og lesning alltid vært en sterk lidenskap i livet mitt, helt siden jeg var en liten gutt; – særlig i kalde høst-og vinterdager. Jeg vil takke alle på litteraturlisten for å dele av sin kunnskap, men også for inspirasjon til mine egne skriverier.

Til sist vil jeg takke Silja Digranes som steg for steg har utviklet og skreddersydd nettstedet til å passe min smak og ellers etterkomme mine kravfulle og pedantiske ønsker.

Engersand, April 2024. Arild Johan Landsnes.
