I just revisited the site, and now there is a description of the flag:
Orange stands for carrots, which were traditionally grown and sold
here; black and yellow combined symbolize the transition in the soil from
clay to sand. Green is for the meadows and 'elzensingels' (ditches surrounded
by alders, which surround farms). The rose is derived from the arms of
the van Sytzama family. The carrot-cross points at the four roads by which
Driesum can be reached.

Meaning of the Coat of Arms: As with the Coats of Arms of neighbouring
villages, from the Coat of Arms of Driesum the state of the soil can be
read. The black-gold edge indicates the transition from sand to clay, while
the green field indicates that the village lies in green surroudings of
meadows and alder rows. In this green field four carots (in natural - orange-
colour) have been placed as a reference to the growing and peddling of
these. The numberoffour as picked as a symbol for the village's four entry
roads. In the first quarter a rose from the arms of de Van Sytzama family
was placed as a memory to the important function of this family for the
area.
