In 1976, the Sego Lily
Chapter was established in order to create a chapter in Davis
County. It
was named Sego Lily Chapter to pay honor to the State Flower of
Utah. The following poem demonstrates why we found this
name choice so endearing.
"Sweet native lily of the
western plains, to us you are a sacred flower. Your smile
gave promise that the wastelands, afterwhile, held harvest hope
for earnest toil and pains of Pioneers who trekked
uncharted ways to find a home. Your graceful flower cup of
creamy petals, outward curved, looks up to drink night's dews
and warmth of shining days: Your dainty markings, soft as
velvet down, blend into yellow gold from richest brown, in
depths of loveliness. Your slender stem and modest leaves
crown you a flower gem, like you, our Utah gropes with eager
hands -
For food and beauty in the
desert lands."
