Sierra mariposa lily, a petite mountain-dweller, flourishes in rocky substrates and alpine meadows. Displaying a trio of delicate white to lavender petals often with a subtle, central purple spot, it rises from grass-like foliage in late spring. This compact herb's bulbous base and slender, leafy stem culminate in a singular, nodding bloom, characteristic of its genus.
