    What does the flower represent? C’mon vexillologists!

    As to legalities, was the flower added to make the flag different enough to be a “new” and official flag?

    Super neat, both in a moral and flag history sense.

      Since I saw this comment and couldn’t get out of the rabbit hole’s event horizon:

      The Sego Lily stands for resilience and is a native flower in the area. On the original blue-white flag the blue stripe stood for the sky and the Great Salt Lake while the white stripe stood for snow and salt.
