Are there any plants that can survive in cold weather?

Lichens are symbiotic organisms made up by the association of microscopic green algae or cyanobacteria and filamentous fungi.\nThe European Space Agency has discovered that lichens can survive unprotected in space. In an experiment led by Leopoldo Sancho from the Complutense University of Madrid, two species of lichen – Rhizocarpon geographicum and Xanthoria elegans – were sealed in a capsule and launched on a Russian Soyuz rocket on 31 May 2005. The Lichens were exposed to temperatures ranging from -20°C to 20°C, the vacuum of space and radiation for 15 days. Afterward, they were found to be in the same state as at the start of the experiment.

you get frostbites in very cold areas, practically below zero deg celsius.  if the "cooled" lava rock is somewhere in arctic or antarctica (where volcanoes do exist), then it's possible

that is their habitat.  how do u survive in ur habitat.  like penquins in the antarctic.   how do they survive.

if you gabve very cold water to a plant it might not be able to metabolise it properly

Probably not life as we understand it.  Life as we understand it requires water and some amount of heat.\n\nPluto is really cold.  In the winter, it's atmosphere freezes and falls to the ground as ammonia snow.  The surface temperature in the winter is several hundred degrees below zero, very close to absolute zero.  This is not an environment that supports life as we understand it.  Life is persistent, and can exist in cold places (there is stuff growing on the underside of the ice shelf off Antarctica, in ocean water so cold it would freeze but for the salt content), but that's a little cold.\n\nHowever, amino acid chains, which are one step down from DNA, and not exactly life but pretty close, have been found floating in star clusters.  So maybe there is something on Pluto.  \n\nHowever, if it exists, it is not intelligent life.  We could not communicate with it.  But it would be interesting to study.

Plants growing in saline environments usually take one of three major adaptive tacts. Some, like tamarisk trees, accumulate salt in their leaves and drop the leaves, or secrete salt out like iceplants. Others, including iceplants, have succulent leaves to sequester water and salt. Still others "hide" either in time or space, growing only when rains counteract high soil salinity or keeping low to avoid dessication and preserve what water they do have.

Water is a much more stable environment than living up in the wind and snow on land.\n\nIn freshwater systems, the water beneath the ice on lakes and rivers doesn't drop below about 4 C (around 40 F).  If it gets colder than that, the water freezes, and floats up to the surface to become part of the ice cover.\n\nSo the cold-blooded fish living in the water get their metabolism lowered by the cold temperatures, but they can still survive - even eating and swimming about (just ask any ice-fisherman).\n\nIf a lake or river freezes right to the bottom though, the fish don't survive.  They get frozen, and new fish either have to repopulate the area the next summer, or the water body remains fish free.\n\nThere are some fish (especially in Arctic waters) that produce anti-freeze like compounds in their blood to keep them from freezing solid.  In salt water, the water temperatures can drop below the freezing point of the blood in a bony fish.  Without these compounds, the fish would indeed freeze.  \n\nIn particularly cold waters, the fish hover almost motionless, their metabolisms so low that they are almost dormant.  Any sudden sharp jostle or even brushing against an icy outcrop can provide a nucleation site for ice crystals to form, and the fish can freeze solid in an instant.  I've seen videos of this happening, and its kind of freaky.

Plants that can only grow at specific times of the year

Some plants thrive in a low pH-leveled soil (such as rhododendrons and azaleas), and other kinds of plants thrive in a high pH-leveled soil.  Give the plants the opposite of what they need, and they will mostly likely die.

It is a great day to be alive : )\n\nIt's 64 and dropping here.  We've been having weird weather here (NW ARKANSAS) also.  All the warm weather has prompted the flora to try and bloom again, even though it's almost winter.  By Wednesday night it's supposed to change drastically with snow, sleet and below freezing temps.  BRRR!\n\nEnjoy the rest of your day : )

Look at chemical reactions to snowfall and extreme cold snaps.  You'll find a lot of useful information if you know how to interpret the biological data, such as how the decomposition of plants affects soil consistency.

Absolutely not.  They are warm-blooded creatures capable of maintaining an internal body temperature.  If birds were cold-blooded, you can bet that penguins and non-migratory birds would be in deep trouble when exposed to low temperatures!

Do you live in a really cold climate?

possible but its more on the no side, conditions not right for life, even for microorganisms that can take extreme temperatures and harsh environment...best of all...no water, its all ice caps!

Just a quick thought here that may help you.  Under "cold blooded" - or ectothermic - we understand an organism that does not produce a relatively constant body core temperature by means of metabolitic activity etc., but rather regulates its temperature by shutteling between warmer and coller areas.  It takes on the temperature of its environment.  That would be detrimental in case of an animal living in antarctic conditions.  A penguin's blood would freeze, there would be crystalization, and the cells would eventually burst.  In other words, the penguin would be a very cold toast.\n\nNow, there are however ectothermic organisms in arctic and antarctic oceans, which maintain blood flow by using a chemcial anti-freeze.  This has been found, for example in some fishes (the plural is allowed here, since we aretalking about more than one species).  But penguins don't have anything like that and do not need it.  As others have mentioned above, they are very well insulated endotherms (maintain a relatively stable core temperature).\n\nHope this helps in addition to the other answers.

in a moderatly warm(70-80F) dark damp place. and if they are "special" you might want to look into the type of soil or whatever you use to grow them on.
