Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures
can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as
low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. They typically have between 10 and 35 inches of
precipitation a year, much of it occurring in the late spring and early
summer. Snow often serves as a reservoir of moisture for the beginning of the
growing season. Seasonal drought and occasional fires help maintain these
grasslands .

butterfly weed, and butterweed.
