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. Check out the dimensions of the flag. The 2002
floral flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper
American flag dimensions. 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.
