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.

I am very quick to make comments about what I see to be useless pieces of cloth, but then I saw the community that this was posted in, and no joke, enjoy your flags Vexillologists. I love it when people geek out about things.
