New Mexico’s flowerThe yucca was adopted as the State Flower on March 14, 1927. The yucca is a member of the lily family and a symbol of sturdiness as well as beauty. In the early summer, pale ivory flowers bloom at the tips of its long, fibrous stalks. At the base of the plant are broad, sharpedged leaves that look like stilettos. The yucca sometimes grows to the height of a small tree.

New Mexico’s flag The yellow field and red symbol colors are the colors of Spain. First brought to New Mexico by Spanish explorers in 1540. On New Mexico's flag we see a red sun with rays stretching out from it. There are four groups of rays with four rays in each group. This is an ancient sun symbol of a Native American people called the Zia. The Zia believed that the giver of all
good gave them gifts in groups of four. These gifts are:•The four directions - north, east, south and west. •The four seasons - spring, summer, fall and winter. •The day - sunrise, noon, evening and night. •Life itself - childhood, youth, middle years and old age.
