A biome is a complex interaction of plants and animals of a specific location. The alpine biome is at an altitude of 10,000 feet or more. It is a cold and harsh place to live. There are perennial sunflowers (Hymenoxys grandiflora) that have adapted to these conditions and grow during the summer (June through October) in the heatwave of 10-15F. These sunflowers look more like large-headed yellow daisies than the typical common annual sunflower which is cold sensitive.
