An American Flag





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....
