THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY
Between the fields where the flag is
planted, there are 9-plus 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. |
