Subject: Fw: This is awesome! ----- Description at bottom Between the field 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. Checkout the dimensions of the flag. The 2002 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. You can drive by this flag on V Street south of Ocean Ave. in Lompoc, CA.Aerial photo courtesy of Bill Morson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 I think I missed the picture you commented on. Sorry I did. Would have like to have seen it. My sister lives in Lompoc (Vandenberg Village) Winifred Card, Clinton, SC Re: Fw: Fw: This is awesome! Thank you for the picture! We live just 35 minutes from Lompoc where the flag field is, but haven't been to see it and without an aerial photo it would be difficult to really receive the full impact. Isn't this something?
