Anhyoo...
Our colors are rose and green and our official flower is the Killarney Rose

To even be more specific...
Old Rose and Vieux Green: The selection (supposedly) was made when the 6 original founders were sitting in Alpha Lloyd's (I think) living room where there was a rug with the colors in it and they liked them so much, that's what they chose.
I know, the story isn't a great legend, but it's a legend nonetheless.
While growing up I remember hearing stories that the Killarney rose was a popular hybrid at the time that didn't have any thorns. It was believed that the flower was extinct, but within the past 10 years or so they have become available and did, in fact, have thorns.
