THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY
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 in Lompoc, California .
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.
