This Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834. The flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 red and white Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers. Each star is 24 feet in diameter; each stripe is 30 feet wide. This flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are more than 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 to see, close to Vandenberg Air Force Base. You can drive by this flag on V Street, south of Ocean Avene in Lompoc, California.
