Frequently Ask Questions About the Flag of Florida
What do the symbols on the Florida state flag represent?
The Florida state flag features the state seal in the center, which includes a Seminole woman spreading flowers, palm trees, a steamboat, and a cocoa palm tree. The seal also includes the state motto "In God We Trust." The red cross in the seal represents the cross of Burgundy, the former Spanish colonial flag. The flag's red saltire (cross) represents the Spanish influence in Florida, while the Native American woman represents the Seminole tribe indigenous to the state. The steamboat represents transportation and commerce, and the cocoa palm represents the state's agriculture.
When was the current design of the Florida state flag adopted?
The current design of the Florida state flag was adopted on November 6, 1900. The design was officially approved by the Florida State Legislature and has remained relatively unchanged since then. The flag features a white field with a red saltire (cross) and the state seal in the center. The flag was updated in 1985 to add the state's official motto "In God We Trust" to the seal. The flag is often flown alongside the national flag of the United States, and it is used to represent the state in official capacities.
Can the Florida state flag be flown at night?
Yes, the Florida state flag can be flown at night, but it must be illuminated if it is displayed after sunset. According to the United States Flag Code, which also applies to state flags, the flag should not be flown in darkness unless it is properly illuminated. This is to show proper respect for the flag and to ensure that it remains visible and identifiable even in low-light conditions. If the flag is displayed outdoors in the evening or at night, it should be lit by a light source that is bright enough to illuminate the flag and make it clearly visible to observers.
