Florida Flag

Of the 50 state flags, the Florida flag may be the most intricately designed. Florida was the 27th State admitted into the Union and the Florida state flag was adopted in 1899.

The only truly way to appreciate the fullness of Florida's state flag is to look at it carefully. The background of the flag is white. Emblazoned across the white background is a red X that spans corner to corner. In the center of the X is the state seal.

It is within the seal that the details are stitched. The seal features a brilliant sun on the horizon, a palmetto tree along with many other forms of vegetation, a steamboat sailing in the background, and a Native American Seminole woman scattering flowers. But even this description lacks the many details that are within this seal.

It is generally accepted that Florida's flag represents the land of sunshine, flowers, palm trees, rivers and lakes. But the truth is it goes far beyond that.

The flag of Florida is truly a work of art and must be seen up close to be appreciated. If at all possible you should try to see a big picture of the Florida state flag in order to view the many wonderful items that are located inside the state seal.

Once you have seen the Florida flag you may wish to learn more about the state and the history of the Florida state flag.
