Sego Lily

The Sego Lily (Calochortus gunnisonii) is the state flower of Utah. It is a beautiful white or pink flower with a yellow center, and it is native to Utah and five other western states. The Sego Lily became Utah's state flower in 1911 after a campaign by the Utah Federation of Women's Clubs. It is an important symbol of the state and is prominently featured on the Utah state flag. The Sego Lily is a hardy bulb flower that is drought-resistant and can survive many years of dry conditions. It is a perennial plant and can live for up to 15 years, blooming every spring. It is a popular flower for gardeners, and it is easy to grow and propagate. The Sego Lily is an important symbol of Utah's pioneer past and a reminder of the resilience of the people who settled in the area. Its beauty and symbolism make it a fitting choice as the state flower of Utah.
