If it is not landuse=flower_bed,what is the landuse tag then ? The
land is used for something, not ? So even when you tag it as landcover
(or man_made) = flower_bed, I would still expect to be able to add a
landuse tag as well.

Yes... for things like a lilly pond, topiary etc
If not already used for something else - like highway, residential etc.

?landuse=decorative? passive_recreation?

I think the tag should not be a specific physical object but what it is used 
for - the human attribute.
Does that make sense?

These are about tagging the actual beds of decorative flowers with
landuse=flowerbed (which I think is totally a landuse - it is land dedicated
to flowers for display or decoration),

-1 ... it is not a 'landuse'.
The same can be done by other things than flower beds ... lilies on a pond,
topiary for example.
It is not defined by 'flowerbed!

It is a land cover ...

and tagging gardens that are "flower spectacles" - places that grow
flowers primarily as a spectacle (and often charge admission) using a
garden:type=foobar is the two tags I am asking for feedback on.
Landuse=grass is crappy - is it for sports? picnicing? Roadside shoulder?
Landscaping?

A flower bed can be for obtaining cut flowers in a residential garden. The
land use is still residential, not flowerbed.

A flowerbed can be in the middle of a roundabout, the landuse is still
highway.

The land cover in both the above is a flowerbed.


Luckily flowers in a non-farm sense serve a single purpose - to be looked
at. They are colorful decorations. You don't sleep on them. You don't play
sports on them. People grow flowers in dedicated land merely to be enjoyed.

Or to cut up and placed inside for decoration and smell.

Several places around the world grow tulips and build a Dutch windmill to
emulate a working landuse=farmland - but just as Space Mountain is neither a
spaceship nor an actual mountain, these are tourist attractions made to
emulate the look of a farm for people looking to take pictures. These fall
into the category of "flower attractions" and I want to tag these as such.

Tourist attractions. Land cover = flowerbed.

When I lived in San diego, the only thing I had ever seen like this is the
Carlsbad flower fields. There are formal botanical gardens and rose gardens
- but a town or large commercial park just doesn't purposefully grow very
large fields of flowers in a large field and put out a viewing platform like
they do in Japan *and* get hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of
people a week that come to just merely view the spectacle  that they
purposefully made, year after year in the same spot and static
configuration.

Maybe it is common in the rest of the world, but these flower spectacles
(and their dedicated area just for flowers) seems something that needs
precise tagging.
