I agree with that, as I did when Marc shew off the range of alternate Aussie flags last year (iirc).
I was referencing that the poll doesn't end for another 3-4 days

Aussie über alles
with both of petike's entries, it's funny how much of an improvement you get simply moving to a more traditional heraldic representation.
Congratulations @Marc Pasquin - 21 votes of the 55 cast - a resounding victory!
Flag Challenge 192: Flower Flaps
redesign the flag of a real-life country or sub-national entity to incorporate its floral emblem. Entities without an official floral emblem or with a flag that already contains it can use, if applicable, a flower present in their coat of arms or one with historical significance.

Tonight I shall drink the tears of my defeated foes from the finials of their fallen flag poles.
The English Rose (or let's keep this simple redux)
England, with a flower. Flag not often used due to lack of English nationalism and due to lack of solely English government buildings for it to fly from. The yellow and green come from the Plantagenet rose itself. And represented the sun-kissed land of England and the fields of rapeseed and wheat often found in her countryside, with the green representing the verdant greenery and grass and forests of England herself without the agricultural implication of wheat etc.
(yes, I'm being boring and simplistic again because like before this idea just came to me and I had to do it to get some practice.)

only OTL, confirmed, otherwise it would easily turn into "any flag with a flower". Obviously you can tweak history a bit to explain the adoption of the flag itself.
Cheers. Rules out my alt-England idea then. Have a few options I can work on tho.
You can use this flag for 192 if you want but as mentioned, entries are meant to represent real-life entities only so maybe tweak the description.
Is that good enough? Like a flag for England still but not really used outside of sport or private citizens.
Well, I'd argue that the flag began as an association of northern English counties and cities, perhaps through sport or an extension of devolution. This would explain it being a modification of the St George Flag - probably starting as Cross & Rose.
The gold and green being added as further differentiation for some reason or other.
That feels like going too far from "real life entities" though.
When @Marc Pasquin responds (when he can obviously), I might go with that but I'd prefer to keep it as close to the spirit of the challenge as possible.
