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。

Lion

アフリカ最大の野生ネコ科動物で最大250kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナや草原に生息する唯一の社会性ネコ科動物です。雄は象徴的なたてがみで識別されます。頂点捕食者として草食動物の個体群を調節し、生態系のバランスを維持します。生息地の喪失と人間との軋轢により危急種に分類されています。
