Description: In this new study of wild plants, Roberts depicts over 250 plants and describes their methods of survival over the winter. She shows how they sustain themselves by habitat, flower design, pollinators, style of fruiting, and seed or spore dispersal.

The drawings and paintings were done from living plants, in minute detail, and with botanical accuracy. Roberts’ collection of winter plants is an artistic tribute to the quiet beauty of the woodlands of the northeastern United States.
