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 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. For our
soldiers - please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our servicemen.
TOTALLY AWESOME ...
