The yello half part
stands for the king's power while the lower orange half part
represents the budhist spiritual authority. The original crimson
red was turned into orange in the 1969 version shifted by
Mayum Choying Wangmo Dorji. As the very name Druk Yul
of the country means "Land Of The Thunder Dragon", so a dragon
is displayed on the flag. The dragon is the symbol of the
nation. It embodies both benevolence & power. Yet
the other name Bhutan comes from the word "Bhota Anta" which
means "End of Tibet" in Sanskrit. The present pattern was
adopted in 2008.

The drawing of this green dragon has been made by Mello LUCHTENBERG. He courtesy gave it to me but shall not be stolen, I guess !!!! It's vizible here > www.vexilla-mundi.com/bhutan_history.html
Another variant with a colored dragon, which apparently gets used
in some ceremonies (or it could be a royal standard)
