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。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物，体重最大可达15千克，为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量，每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化，能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分，拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减，2022年被列为濒危物种。
