From: Lexjuris
site : "This city of 19,451 inhabitants was founded on
August 11, 1815. The flag of Adjuntas takes its symbolim and part
of its design from the CoA. The crosses symbolize San Joaquín
[St. Joachim] and Santa Ana. The white stands for purity, the
purple for St. Joachim's robe, and the green for the
vegetation."
Thanh-Tâm Le and Santiago Dotor , 21 January 1999
There is an image of the flag
at pueblos-de-puertorico.com site (now defunct). Adjuntas is a
town in Ponce district, Puerto Rico. The image at Lexjuris
site differs a bit from this one. According to this text in Lexjuris
site the right upper triangle is violet and the lower left
triangle is green.

Common error is unknowingly presenting the flag in
left-to-right inversion as in some versions of Adjuntas, that by
the way is purple over green. The flag derives its symbolism and
part of its design from the Coat of Arms. A white band divides
diagonally into two irregular triangles: purple the
superior one and green the inferior one. A white Illesca Cross is
placed in the center of both triangles. In this case the cross
also symbolizes Saint Joachim and Saint Ann, Virgin Mary's
parents. The white color stands for purity; purple for Saint
Joachim's cloak; green for vegetation.

Adjuntas (literally: adjunct, joined) - The bishop's shaft or
crozier: is an attribute of the Old Testament Patriarchs, and in
Adjuntas' shield it represents the Patriarch Saint Joachim,
father of the Holy Virgin Mary and patron saint of the city. The
spinning wheel: refers to the house chores and symbolizes Saint
Anne, mother of the Holy Virgin Mary and co-matron saint of the
city. The star: stands for Our Lady, who was God's gift to the
couple. The bells and crosses: refer to the city name, Adjuntas,
derived from the fact that both were adjunct or joined in its
civil character to the Bishopric and Municipality of
Coamo. The crosses: are taken from Coamo's blazon (which
also presents bells, though as part of a belfry) and have their
origin in the coat-of-arms of the village and the Illescas
lineage, a name historically related to the ancient Villa of San
Blás de Illescas. The coffee boughs: refer to the fact that
Adjuntas lays in the coffee zone of Puerto Rico. The mural
crown: distinctive of four-towered shields to mean that in
Spanish times it got from the Crown the privilege of the title
"Villa".
