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。

Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。
