Lovely images. I think one of the United States of America’s most iconic image is that of the American Eagle as well as the current Stars and Stripes flag.
Each state (most anyway) has their own flag, motto, bird, bug, animal, tree and flower.

I recognised Kangaroo Paw. But yours depict a really pretty one. The ones I used to see are smaller. I do miss the Land Down Under….my fave strawberry farm must be missing my patronage! Haha

All the American icons, like the Statue of Liberty, are tarnished these days. It will take time for them to regain any meaning. (K)

The kangaroo paw is widely cultivated in Florida. Lovely plant, Kate. A popular icon of Florida is the bottle nosed dolphin. Also associated with Florida is the endangered manatee.

The flowers and the kookaburra bring smiles!!! 🙂
It’s cool that we have positive icons and emblems…when we see them they lift us up!
things like flags, the bald eagle, heart, dove, waterlilies, rose, the moon and stars, etc, have very personal meaning to me, to my life. 🙂 So many of the personal ones I see in nature. 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂

That’s an absolutely gorgeous photo of a kookaburra! Here the symbol of Slovenia is probably it’s highest mountain, Triglav which you can see on the flag 🇸🇮

sounds like the flag is a true representation of the country!
Our flag still has the union jack in the top corner … should be replaced with our First Nation’s flag in order to truly represent us 🙂

I love Kookaburras – at least in photos, I’ve never seen one in real life. But they seem to be such cheerful birds. My contribution is somewhat less lighthearted. 😉

If you like that then Discworld is for you (there are a few films out if you want a fast introduction, Colour of Magic (the first one) is not a good idea as intro, certainly not as a movie, but Colour of Money or Hogfather is a possible way to go.

The world’s fish bowl fills with many icons, some treasured for many years while others show up as frequently as an unopened box of Cracker Jacks. Right now, I am thinking of a timeless icon gifted to America from France . . . Lady Liberty!
