1. This book is a reissue (new cover; we're also bringing out a new ebook edition.) It has been out of stock for some time. (No sales since 2021 while we looked for a reprint solution.) 2. Flowers appearing in Born in the Spring are from southeast Ohio. They are arranged chronologically by their appearance in the springtime. 3.

The 90+ flower illustrations are line drawings and watercolors, 46 of them in full color. They are a mix of natives and introduced species. 4. June Carver Roberts (1923-2002) was a resident of Athens, Ohio, since 1953. She attended Ohio University where she received a B.F.A. 5.

Born in the Spring is a book for generalists, not botanists, who look forward with enthusiasm to the unfolding pageant of the spring season. Roberts depicts wildflowers as well as "hardy aliens" that emerge in succession.
