Flag of Grenada

 The national flag of Grenada was adopted upon independence from the  United Kingdom, 7 February 1974. The six stars in the red border stand  for the country's six parishes, with the middle star, encircled by a red  disk, standing for the capital, Saint George's. The symbol in the hoist  represents a clove of nutmeg, one of the principal crops of Grenada. It  also represents a link to Grenada's former name, which was the "Isle of  Spice". 

The official coat of arms of Grenada is a shield divided into four parts by a golden cross. In the center of this cross is the Santa Maria, Columbus' flagship. A British lion on a red field is shown in the upper left and lower right sections of the shield, with a golden crescent moon out of which a lily grows in the upper right and lower left sections. Above the shield, there is a golden crown, topped with a garland of bougainvillea branches. Within the garland are seven red roses, which stand for the seven communities of Grenada. Holding the sign is an armadillo which stands before a corn stalk; on the other side a Grenada dove, which stands before a banana plant. The base represents grassland mountains and Grenada's Grand Etang Lake. A ribbon displays the national motto: "Ever conscious of God we aspire, build and advance as one people."

The coat of arms was adopted by the island nation in 1974 following independence.

 The Grenada dove (Leptotila wellsi) is a medium-sized New World tropical  dove. It is endemic to the island of Grenada in the Lesser Antilles.  Originally known as the pea dove or Well's dove, it is the National Bird  of Grenada. It is considered to be one of the most critically  endangered doves in the world.
