As a patriotic gesture after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, Bodger Seeds has again planted a Floral Flag in Lompoc, CA. It has been 50 years since Bodger has planted such a flag. There have been four Floral Flags planted by Bodger Seeds in Lompoc
during the last century: 1942, 1943, 1945, 1952. All of the flags were comprised of Red, White and Blue Larkspur flowers. Some of the flags were planted in a background of White Larkspur.

Between the field where the flag is planted there are more than 9 miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. It's a beautiful place close to Vandenberg AFB.
