The State Flag of Florida (The Sunshine State)

The state was named by the Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon who must have been impressed with its flowers (in Spanish the name means flowery). Florida entered the Union on March 3, 1845, as the 27th state. It was a member of the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Its the second home for Mickey and a whole flock of snow birds.

The flag of Florida is a crimson diagonal cross (saltire) on a white background, with the seal of state of Florida in the center. Without the seal the flag would look exactly like Alabama's.

Our version of this flag is made of light-weight polyester for durability and is 3' by 5'.
