Between the
fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go
all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a
beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB.
Check out the dimensions of the flag. The 2002 Floral Flag is 740 feet long and
390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in
Executive Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to
be planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24
feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to
contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each, for a
total of more than 2 million flowers. You can drive by this flag on V Street
south of Ocean Ave.
in Lompoc, CA.
