humm ... for me it is only an attraction when in flower. So would need
some seasonal tagging with the tourism tag?
Flowers can be part of agriculture - grown for sale in florist shops for
example.

How about
tourism=attraction

There are similar areas in Thailand for sunflowers.

TL:DR - we need a “flower field” tag or a variant of flowerbed.
tat is not related to farming, but more to garden or tourism.
This is a tag for the field itself, not the entire location, which
may need a garden:type=spectacle value to define it.

more landuse= values!)

I visited a tulip field In Japan yesterday; thousands of people
coming to take photographs of a field of flowers and the Dutch
windmill they built.
http://www.city.sakura.lg.jp/0000000674.html
This is very similar to the flower fields (and windmill) in
Calrlsbad, California - the tulips and other flowers grown are a
spectacle to attract visitors.

It is not a commercial farm which happens to be pretty. it is a
carefully planned place to attract tourists to see the flowers as
a spectacle - like a garden or park.
I understand that in Holland, those are commercial farms
(landuse=farmland crop=flowers), the beauty is incidental. But
people recreate the spectacle on a smaller scale as purely a
tourist attraction.
Similarly, Hitachinaka Park has a large hill which they rotate the
crop of flowers (Nemophila is the most popular) and tens of
thousands of people come to see the flowers every season.
I tagged the flower area on the hill a year or so ago - but was
unsure of how to tag the flowered ground. I left it untagged.

There are also large fields of colorful shibazakura that are
planted as a tourist attraction. in many large flower grounds.
In all these instances, the flower fields are a tourist
attraction. their primary purpose is similar to a botanical garden
- they are grown to be viewed - but in a garden/park like atmosphere.
These images are very popular online, especially the large field
near Mt Fuji. . https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=shibazakura

People may buy some flowers, but it is incidental - people
primarily come to see them. It’s not flower art - there is no
“image” grown into the flowers - the flowers themselves are the
attraction.
having it tagged as farmland seems wrong. It’s not a crop. It’s
not a plant nursery. It’s not a botanical garden.
It’s not a “park” - the entire location may be a form of
“garden” tagged as a tourist attraction, but the **field itself**
needs a tag.
Flowerbed? seems a little weird to tag 3000m2 as a flowerbed. But
if it is approved I will use it.
Suggestions?
