There are many natural spectacles (the fall colors on the mountains, certian flowers that grow on wild hills, etc) that is a form of attraction, but is neither a subset of garden nor a flowerbed. 

Just like a fountain in a park and a waterfall in the wilderness. 

Just to muddy the waters, several places I take pictures of flowers "in the wilderness" are transplanted and cultivated by the locals. Some of the flowers are native to other regions, and transplanted to similar climates to recreate the natural spectacle, and to diversify the locations (in case a volcano explodes and kills all the others in one spot). They care for the plants and increase their density to keep the (moneymaking) attraction. But these are pretty rare compared the flower spectacles I am talking about. 

There was an eruption on Mt Kusatsu-Shirane a few months ago; it was 400m from some mountain flowers they painstakingly transplanted a couple decades prior. I hope they all lived.
