 Koru Flag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Koru Flag has been proposed as a secondary flag for New Zealand.
There is a fern green spiral which starts by taking up the entire width of the flag but decreases gradually, splitting it diagonally and finally curling up into a spiral on the right side.
This curling fern is based on a Maori pattern known as the koru, and the corresponding white spiral alludes to Aotearoa, a Maori name for New Zealand meaning Land of the Long White Cloud.
