There are four plants in the Grasslands. The first one is the Saddlebag. A bee starts the pollination process and when a bee  lands on a flower their feet often slip into a little groove that is called the pollen sacs. When the bee leaves it carries the saddlebag on its feet. So when the bee lands on another flower the saddlebag falls off and starts the process all over again. Next there is the Purple Cone Flower.  The purple cone flower is used by many peoples gardens at home. The Sweet cone flower is after that. The Sweet Cone Flower can grow to be 6 feet tall if it is planted in moist soil. And last but not least the Blazing star is last. The Blazing Star is one of the most beautiful flowers in the grasslands. They grow at least 5 feet tall. The butterflies are usually attracted to it. People usually think of the forbs as a wildflower. And that is all the plants.
