... ich mich etwas korrigieren muss: "Wiesen" sind eigentlich nur solche Pflanzengemeinschaften, die regelmäßig gemäht/beweidet werden, "Fluren" können Wiesen sein oder andere Gemeinschaften (die nicht gemäht werden), oder es ist eine allg. Bezeichnung für einen größeren Pflanzenbestand.

in this context, "Flur" doesn't mean "corridor", but "open field", "meadow", or even "mead", if you want to be poetic about it.

... in plant sociology, these are "herb communities": http://www.ufz.de/biolflor/overview/merkmal.jsp?ID_Merkmalsg...

But in a more general sense, you can speak of "wild herb meadows" which is basically the same as "flower meadows"; that is because most wild flowers are herbs, i.e. perennial plants which flower once or twice every year, and are considered "weeds" in other contexts.

(There are also annually flowering plants which may form a community called "flower meadows" of a different type.)

I know something about these things because I do some green rooftop gardening :-)
