Back:
THE SEGO LILY was adopted as the Floral
Emblem of Utah by legislative enactment
March 18, 1911.
The early pioneers of Utah had a struggle
for existence for a few years. Their vegetable
diet was made up, for the most part, of the
roots of the Sego Lily and other native roots
and greens. It was for this reason as well as
for the rare beauty of the flower that the Sego
Lily was chosen as the state floral emblem.
