Sego Lily
The sego lily (Calochortus nuttallii) is a wildflower native to the western United States, particularly prevalent in Utah. This delicate flower is known for its three white petals with a delicate blush of pink or lavender at the base. The sego lily holds historical and cultural significance, as it was a vital food source for Native American tribes, including the Ute and Shoshone people. The bulb of the sego lily was an important part of their diet, usually eaten raw or cooked. Today, the sego lily is a beloved symbol of the region's natural beauty and resilience.
