State Flag: The picture on a deep blue field is a scene painting. You see a tall pine tree, a cow and sheaves of wheat. The Green Mountains are in the distance. Pine boughs extend around a shield. The name "Vermont" and the state motto "Freedom and Unity" are displayed on a crimson banner. At the the top of the shield is a stag's head.
-
State Flower: Red Clover - No. 159 of the Acts of 1894, effective February 1, 1895, designated the Red
Clover as the official State Flower. Both an integral part of many a cultivated
hay field and a common sight along numerous Vermont roadsides, the Red Clover is
symbolic of Vermont's scenic countryside generally and of its dairy farms in
particular. Oddly enough, however, Trifolium pratense is not a native of Vermont
but was "naturalized" from Europe.
