Its native range is California. It is also found outside California but confined to western North America. It is native to the Southwestern United States’ deserts, including Arizona, southern California, southern Nevada, southern Utah, west Texas, and northern Mexico (Sonora, Chihuahua). In California, it is found in the Mojave Desert. Calochortus kennedyi produces a skinny twisting stem up to a foot and a half tall but generally shorter. The basal leaves are 4-8 inches long, waxy in texture, and will wither once flowering. The blooms are 1 to 6 bell-shaped flowers in a rather loose cluster. Every flower has three sepals and three petals spotted at the bases. The petals can be 2 inches long and are yellow, orange, or red. Fruits are angled, striped capsules up to 2 inches in length.
