Adopted in 1990; The flag of Dominica is green, with a centered cross of three equal bands - the vertical part is yellow (hoist side), black, and white and the horizontal part is yellow (top), black, and white. Superimposed in the center of the cross is a red disk bearing a Sisserou parrot, unique to Dominica which is encircled by 10 green, five-pointed stars edged in yellow. The 10 stars represent the 10 administrative divisions (parishes). Green symbolizes the island's lush vegetation. The triple-colored cross represents the Christian Trinity. The yellow color denotes sunshine, the main agricultural products (citrus and bananas), and the native Carib Indians. Black is for the rich soil and the African heritage of most citizens. White signifies rivers, waterfalls, and the purity of aspirations and the red disc stands for social justice.
