It looks like it might be from the passion flower / passiflora family.. Not 100% certain though.

I would have said some sort of passion flower as well.

Looks like a mariposa lily.
In fact, I took a look at where you are located, and I can almost guarantee it. :)
I'm in CO also and an avid wildflower photographer.

Definitely a Calochortus species.

No clue, but it sure is pretty! Love the DOF too!

Yes, Mariposa Lily .... passion flowers have more petals ... although at first glance they could look alike.

Yes, it's a Mariposa Lily, as Elizabeth says. Beautiful flower; not related to the passion flower, though.
