Friends, the Sego Lily grows in the badlands of North Dakota among other places.  When i examined this bud with my macro lens, i fell in love with all the colorful veining present in the unopened bud. When the flower opens, it has three white petals with magenta toward the centers.  The root can be a food source when roasted.  I know that the background is grainy, but i like it that way. This is my vain attempt at fine art photography, what do you think? til Tomorrow MJ
