Florida

The flag of Florida is white with a thick red saltire with the state seal of Florida in the center of the flag.
==Symbolism==
The Florida seal represents the state of Florida, and the saltire is decended from the Spanish Cross of Burgundy flag. Common misconception holds that the saltaire is an allusion to the Confederacy, but the flag of New Spain used this design in Florida beginning in 1559.
The red saltire can also resemble the fact that Florida was a member of the Confederate States of America.
The flowers in the seal represent the fact the Florida's name means "flowery" in Spanish.
