Flag of Grenada
The flag of Grenada features a red border containing six yellow five-pointed stars, framing an inner field divided diagonally into four triangles alternating green and yellow, with a red disc at the centre bearing a seventh yellow star. A stylised nutmeg pod sits in the hoist-side green triangle, a direct reference to the country's leading export and its nickname, the Isle of Spice. Designed by Anthony C. George, the flag was adopted on 7 February 1974, the day Grenada gained independence from the United Kingdom.
Red stands for courage and vitality, yellow for wisdom and the sun, and green for the vegetation and agriculture that sustain the islands. The seven stars represent Grenada's seven parishes, with the central star dedicated to the capital Saint George's.
