Sego Lily
June was second wetest June on record for the Front Range. This has resulted in a bummer crop of wildflowers, chest high grasses, and bugs. This week I went for a stroll on the Mesa Trail and took pictures of over 20 species of wildlfowers. There are some species I have never seen bloom in this area. One of these is the Sego or Mariposa Lily (Calochortus gunnisonii).
The Sego Lily blooms from May through August and is usually in the Foothills and Montane zones in open meadows and fields.

I really love this flower, and have only seen it rarely; I always thought it was some kind of poppy! Jeff Madison, Denver
