A Picture of My Island Life
Question 1) What is the national flower of
St Vincent and the Grenadines?
Answer: The Soufriere Tree flower of course. I knew
the answer.
Next question, what is the name of the St Vincent
parrot? The Amazona Guildingi, right again. When
did St Vincent and the Grenadines change from the
coat of arms flag to the present flag? Now this was
harder, but I am usually good with dates. But I
simply couldn’t remember. I thought to ask my
parents. I closed my eyes and found myself back at
the dinner table.
“Mom, do you remember when the flag was
changed?”
“Yes I do, I was about your age when it changed.
1985 I believe”.
“Mom, can I tell you what the colours in the flag
represent?”
“Of course Lilly”, Mom answered.
