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。

Buckelwal

大型クジラの中で最も曲芸的なクジラのひとつであるザトウクジラは、繁殖期にオスが歌う複雑で神秘的な歌で知られており、数時間にわたって続き時間をかけて変化していきます。体長16m、体重30トンに達し、哺乳類の中で最長の回遊を行います。全海洋に分布し、協調的なバブルネット採餌でオキアミや小魚を捕食します。歴史的な捕鯨後の個体数はおおむね回復しています。
