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!
