Camas flower. It's purple and yellow which is easily in the top three color combos. The petals are purple and the yellow stamens (?) float delicately above them.

Plus camas bulb was like 30-40% of the caloric needs of some PNW cultures. Wheat is not unattractive, but it's not as pretty a staple crop as camas.
