The flag is the last leaf to emerge before the flower bud comes out. It's very small in comparison to the regular leaves. Look at the lower left drawing for an example.

If you already have a flag leaf, the flower will appear in a few days. If you dig it up at that time, you might as well put it in the trash becuase it will not flower again, and the fruit will be lost.
