Apothecary Rose

現存する最古の栽培バラの一つであるアポセカリーローズは、ヨーロッパと中東で2,000年以上にわたって栽培され、中世の薬草師や香料師たちの主要なバラの花びらの供給源でした。毎春に香り豊かな一重咲きから半八重咲きの深いピンク色の花を咲かせ、カフカスとイラン北部が原産です。花びらは乾燥後も香りを保つため、バラ水、アタール、ポプリの製造に重宝されます。多くの現代バラ品種の先祖となった種です。

Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指(橈側種子骨)を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急(VU)へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。
