Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
Southwest Florida
USA
The blue flag iris is a flower found within the swamp in Corkscrew Sanctuary. It grows wild there.
Iris versicolor is also commonly known as the blue flag, harlequin blueflag, larger blue flag, northern blue flag, and poison flag, plus other variations of these names, and in Britain and Ireland as purple iris.
It is a species of Iris native to North America, in the Eastern United States and Eastern Canada. It is common in sedge meadows, marshes, and along streambanks and shores. The specific epithet versicolor means "variously coloured".
Iris versicolor is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant, growing 10–80 centimetres high. This iris tends to form large clumps from thick, creeping rhizomes. The unwinged, erect stems generally have basal leaves that are more than 1 cm wide. Leaves are folded on the midribs so that they form an overlapping flat fan. The well developed blue flower has 6 petals and sepals spread out nearly flat and have two forms. The longer sepals are hairless and have a greenish-yellow blotch at their base. The inferior ovary is bluntly angled. Flowers are usually light to deep blue (purple and violet are not uncommon) and bloom during May to July. Fruit is a 3-celled, bluntly angled capsule. The large seeds can be observed floating in fall.

This wooden Texas flag caught my attention at a well known local restaurant in College Station, Texas.

Seems that sometimes we worry more about a used and faded piece of cloth than we do about a person in the same condition.
As promised, here is the other side of the cute cow letterbox we found at Amamoor in Queensland and which I uploaded the other day. As you can see, it is basically built around the American style mail box with the flag. I haven't seen this sort anywhere else in Australia so the owners may have imported it.
The flag is a tricolour (green, white and pink) and was created in 1843.
This country lost autonomy in 1917 and after a referendum now is Canadian.
Terranova (in inglese: Newfoundland, in francese: Terre-Neuve; in gaelico canadese: Talamh an Èisg; in micmac: Ktaqmkuk)
Una curiosità e un mistero: i Micmac, o meglio i Mi'kmaq, (nativi americani presenti a Terranova) avevano una scrittura simile ai geroglifici egiziani !

Normally you can see these flying in most places here in the Isle of Man especially in the summer months. This one looks like its been out all winter! The three legs symbol is on most Manx produced goods, you may be lucky enough to find some Manx produced cheese in your local supermarket, if you do its worth trying.
A hero shot - one that I doubted about posting without significant masking (that lightpost - bugs me). But then, I thought: why fake it? It's what it is.
So here: a "hero shot" of flags.
Now, whose flags are they? Take a closer look? The one in the middle looks familiar...
