Oh, yes.....many years ago when we used to live in Santa Barbara. Spectacular color! Well, worth the drive over to the coast.
For those who don't know, flowers are grown by seed companies in the Lompoc, CA area. Acre after acre of beautiful color. I would love to see it in person from the air. Wouldn't a hot air balloon ride over the flower fields be an amazing experience?
I did a google search and found this. Don't know when it was taken. The flower flag is beautiful and had to be very difficult to create. The plantings to the side of the flag are pretty too. It looks like multicolored fabric.
"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.
