Florida

statescrosssealdistinctive

A white field with a red saltire (diagonal cross) and the state seal in the center, depicting a Native American woman scattering flowers, a steamboat, palm tree, and the sun.

Florida added the red saltire in 1900 so the flag wouldn't look like a white surrender flag when hanging limp on a pole.

Adopted: 1900
