Flag Day is already a well-known and beloved competition among students from five high schools in Bucharest, organized by the Public Diplomacy Section. Participating for the first time, this year’s high schools (Mihai Eminescu, Nicolae Iorga, C.A. Rosetti, Mihail Sadoveanu and Dimitrie Paciurea) developed depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia.
Held in the Embassy’s courtyard for the first time, the 150 students exhibited the displays they created to illustrate representative elements for each of the states, all related to the history, culture and language of the Native Americans. The winners received American books and stationary and had a fun pizza picnic on the lawn.

The flag of Brittany is the unofficial flag of Brittany, a region in the northwest of France. It is called the Gwenn-ha-du, which means white and black in Breton. It is also unofficially used in the department of Loire-Atlantique although this now belongs to the Pays de la Loire and not to the region of Brittany, as the territory of Loire-Atlantique is historically part of the province of Brittany. Nantes (Naoned), its prefecture, was once one of the two capital cities of Brittany.
The flag was created in 1923 by Morvan Marchal.

To celebrate Flag Day on June 13, for the 8th straight year the U.S. Embassy's Public Diplomacy Section organized a competition with high school students to develop depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. Nearly 300 enthusiastic high school students took part in the competition which took place at the Ambassador’s residence where they exhibited the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements of each of the states, in order to convey the message for this year’s theme: “America’s Strength: The Diversity of Its People”. First time participating, this year's high schools were: Gheorghe Lazar (Bucharest), Mihai Viteazul (Bucharest), Nicolae Balcescu (Oltenita), Decebal (Bucharest) and Ion Neculce (Bucharest). The winners received American books, music and movies (Lucian Crusoveanu / Public Diplomacy Office)

The Yellow Flag Iris (Iris pseudacorus) stands at a height of up to 150 centimetres, and with its vivid yellow, occasionally white, flowers, it is a striking plant.
Yellow Iris flowers in May and June, and can be found in damp ground, often at the margin of slow flowing streams and along the edge of grassland drainage channels.
Yellow Iris spread is through substantially-sized seeds that float away to find new ground, and also through underground, fleshy rhizomes. These horizontal stems produce new plants at intervals along their length, and double as food storage mechanisms. They are adapted to survive in the airless, waterlogged soils in which the iris is found.
Importantly, Yellow Iris provides ideal support for metamorphosising dragonflies and damselflies.
Herbalist John Gerard, writing in the 16th century, called the yellow iris, water floure de-luce and also water flag and yellow flag. It probably came about becausethe 5th century king of Franks, Clovis, used it as a heraldic symbol on his battle flag.
Gerard also described the ‘long and large flaggy leaves like the blade of a sword with two edges’, which gave rise to other country names: sword flower and sword flag.
Yellow iris seeds, roasted, were once used to make a coffee-like drink, whilst the rhizomes were used to produce black dye and black ink. The plant also had astringent qualities, and was much valued for stopping the flow of blood.
