Description of the Flag

Hong Kong LGBT flag was photographed at Taipei Gay Pride 2016 in Taipei, Taiwan on 2016-10-29: https://www.flickr.com/photos/leiso75/30629998216/.

It is created by placing the bauhinia flower from the flag of Hong Kong SAR into the center of gay rainbow flag.

According to the photo, the flower is larger than in the regional flag. The stars which make its stamina, as well as their stalks, are painted in five of the rainbow colors (yellow is not used). Beginning from the top petal, the stars are arranged clockwise as follows: orange, green, violet, blue and red. The corresponding stalks are arranged as follows: violet, blue, red, orange and green.
