This is just amazing! Not only is it huge, the proportions are correct. It took someone a lot of time to map it out and even more to plant it. I don't know who they are, but thank you for what you have done. With things which are currently going on in our country, it is great to see the American Spirit is still alive.
THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOES NOT FLY
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, Calif.
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.

Last time I was in Vandenberg AFB in 1998, that area was the flower seed producing farms for Burpee Seed Company. Miles of nothing but flowers, grown to harvest seeds for resale.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. The work alone to produce such a spectacular vision. What is most amazing are the per spec dimensions. Glorious, positively glorious. Thank you!
