VANDENBERG AFB
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.

Awesome photo; there was one in our local paper on July 4, but since most were not flowering, didn't look near as good.
Just idle curiosity, I know a lot of us planned red white and blue gardens for this summer, how many have followed through? I have 2 pots with that color scheme, but they aren't wildly successful; when the red hibiscus are blooming, the white jasmine aren't; when the blue plumbago is flowering, the geranium (should have been white with red freckles) reverted to plain white!
Anyone get a true "red white and blue" color scheme successfully?
WOW!!! That is amazingly beautiful, it gives me goose bumps thanks for sharing and the ifo.
Awesome! Simply awesome!!
LL, we did one, but it was a huge flop. going to try different plants next year:)

Wow! really something!
Regarding the red, white & blue flowers, did a nice container, but not enough blue.
