Kansas State Flag. On a navy blue field is a sunflower, the state flower. Also, the state seal and the words KANSAS. In the picture of the state seal are thirty-four stars representing the order of statehood. Above the stars is the motto 'To the Stars Through Difficulties'. On the seal a sunrise overshadows a farmer plowing a field near his log cabin, a steamboat sailing the Kansas River, a wagon train heading west and Native Americans hunting bison.
