- It is man-altered from natural=* for a specific use (cleared of all natural vegetation and planted with a man-chosen display of flowers)

- it is not landuse=farmland
crop=flowers for eating or for resale - it is an an attraction in itself, or the flower part of a flower garden. (The giant flower fields in a mixed use park, or the large mappable flower areas in a flower park

- it is not landuse=commercial for selling of the flowers, as they are for display,

- the flowering plants may be rotated, but the landuse stays the same: flower flower flowers!

- The flowers are not a secondary part - a naturally occurring incidental display of flowers in a natural=scrub, nor flowers in a barrier=hedge. I assume surface=flowers/flowering plants or landcover=flowering plants. 

The reason I bring these up is because I have been trying to map flower parks that I visit while taking photos. 

There are easily mappable areas in the parks that are "flowering or colorful plants planted and cultivated for display purposes by man to be a tourist attraction." They are not scrub, forest, meadows, nor are barrier=hedges, though a rose is a good barrier.

Japan:
- Bara-en in Maebashi (giant rose flower park) 
- Ashikaga Flower Park (Famous for wisteria)
- Ota Flower Park
- Yokosuka flower park
- Hitachi Seaside park, where the giant hill covered in rotating flowers is. 
- Tambara Lavender park (seasonal)
- Gunma Flower Park 

California: 
Carlsbad flower Fields
Balboa Park's 2 rose gardens
