Rosier de France

One of the oldest cultivated roses in existence, the Apothecary's Rose has been grown in Europe and the Middle East for over 2,000 years and was the principal source of rose petals for medieval herbalists and perfumers. Producing fragrant single to semi-double deep pink flowers each spring, it is native to the Caucasus and northern Iran. Its petals retain fragrance when dried, making it valuable for rosewater, attar, and potpourri production. The ancestor of many modern rose cultivars.

Girafe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
