Flag of Grenada
What the flag looks like
A red border around a field divided diagonally into yellow triangles at top and bottom and green triangles at hoist and fly; a red disc with a yellow star sits in the center, three yellow stars run along the top and bottom borders, and a nutmeg appears on the hoist triangle.
What it means
Red represents courage, yellow wisdom and warmth, and green vegetation; the seven stars stand for the seven parishes, and the nutmeg for the island's famous spice crop.
