This is one of the Calochortus. The descriptions of the possible three species suggests one of the easiest ways of determining species is by the altitude in which they grow. Calochortus flexuosus: semi desert Calochortus gunnisonii: foothills and high mountain meadows Calochortus nuttallii: semi-desert to foothills
