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 50 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. For our  soldiers....Please  don't break  it When you  receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our  servicemen.
