</span>In a general sense, everything is a node, way or area object, yea.<br>
<br>
But a flower field is not a man_made=* object, in the common OSM usage.<br>
<br>
It's not "man_made=forest" because it is not a man-constructed structure. Cultivated, yea, but it's not something made out of steel or cinderblocks.<br>
<br>
And um, a flower box does't describe the flower field at all. I don't think the boxes are even mappable in OSM due to their impermanent and portable nature when not nailed on a house window.<br>
<br>
Perhaps planter boxes (their bigger cousins) are, as many of them are permanent or semi-permanent - but not dedicated to "flowers".<br>
<br>
A flowerbed is much closer, and good enough to tag a contiguous field of cultivated flowers for display purposes.<br>
