I received this one a few days ago with a request to please stop for a moment to say a prayer for our Military and
to send it along the people in my address book. Since today is the 4th of July, it seems fitting to post it here.
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.
