Bodger Seed Co Flower Flag Photo by Bill Morson
Lompoc Floral Flag

The photo of the flag is again making the rounds on the internet, and a lot of people are led to believe it is a current picture. The Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce is receiving a lot of inquiries about it and several people have even driven from Los Angeles to view the flag!

Please be aware that the floral flag was planted in 2002 and was in bloom in June and July of that year. It has not been replanted.

Memorial Day MessageMarian's Memories by Marian Huyck
" This Memorial Day take a few minutes to reflect on those who cannot be with us. Those Veterans who fought for our country. Fly the Stars and Stripes while you are barbecuing, fly it on your ski boat, on your trailers and tents. Let America know we love her and those who have fallen for all of us. Respect the original intention behind Memorial Day."

... you ever got stuck for a day or two with 20 other hitchhikers in the drizzling and cold Santa Barbara rain and you were just trying to hitchhike back into Lompoc!

You are too old to be alive if you remember the half-way-house between Lompoc and Ocean Park. That was way before my time, but a VERY interesting story which should never die.
