AFAIK that a natural open area of grasses is natural=grassland. 
If it is a bit taller stuff, possibly natural=scrub ( like the 1m tall green plants growing along roads in Japan, for example. 

If it is a field of crops or stuff, like grasses or hay or something, it is a landuse=meadow. 

Do those flowers grow in such quantity to make a mappable *natural* field? of all that one kind of flowers?

the Mizubasho looks like it grows when cultivated in a swamp or something (per google image search).  

I have seen a few growing naturally on Mt Akagi (I think), in streams/places with water.  

Where are you trying to map them? I’d love to visit a place with big fields of them growing naturally!

most of the flowers shown here on this page ( I randomly found ) are in fields that seems to be very man-managed, or possibly fallow farm fields.

But some of these would be the flower field tag we are discussing. 


some of the flowers growing naturally seem to be forest floor coverings.

I have no idea how to tag stuff on the forest or wood floor, which some of these natural groups seem to be.
