The "triple palm" flag consists of three vertical stripes of green (representing Saint Kitts), yellow (representing Nevis) and blue (representing Anguilla) while the tree was a coconut palm tree with three roots and three fronds, symbolising the destiny, humility, and pride of the three islands.[2]

Anguilla and Saint Kitts and Nevis each adopted their own flags when St Kitts and Nevis became an independent country in 1983. Anguilla became a separate British Crown colony (now a British overseas territory).
