Apothecary Rose

药剂师蔷薇是现存最古老的栽培玫瑰之一,在欧洲和中东已种植超过2,000年,是中世纪草药师和香料师的主要玫瑰花瓣来源。每年春天开放芳香的单瓣至半重瓣深粉色花朵,原产于高加索和伊朗北部。其花瓣干燥后仍保留香气,对玫瑰水、精油和香囊的生产极具价值。这是许多现代玫瑰品种的祖先。

giraffe

长颈鹿(Giraffa camelopardalis)是地球上最高的动物,身高可达5.5米,体重最重可达1,750千克。其细长的颈部——与所有哺乳动物一样包含七块颈椎——是为了在非洲稀树草原和林地取食金合欢树而进化的。长颈鹿是社会性动物,生活在无固定纽带的松散兽群中,通过次声波和肢体语言进行交流。由于栖息地丧失和偷猎,种群持续减少,被列为易危。
