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.
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...
