English term or phrase: flowering
We have been rated highly as a leader of the industry for our positive attitude. Located in an area that commands a magnificent view of the Zao Mountain Range in flowering Yamagata, we are blessed with nature and humanity.

In the above, can “flowering” be used?
I think Yamagata is beautiful place, but it is not especially flowering.

burgeoning


Explanation:
As Yamagata seems to have a burgeoning economy, this might convey the writer's intention, though not the reference, which is best dropped.

neutral  philgoddard: The asker says it's something to do with a folk song.
12 hrs
  -> The reference won't mean anything to anglophone readers, so best to drop it: as you, indeed, suggested in the Discussion section.
agree  Jean-Claude Gouin
21 hrs
  -> Thanks
disagree  Yasutomo Kanazawa: Has nothing to do with burgeoning economy. Flowering here is used as a prefecture, something like a state in the US (like Garden State=New Jersey), and the writer wants to emphasize that there are lot of flowers in Yamagata Pref./City. Your guess is wrong
22 hrs
  -> How do you know that? The Asker has given next to no context and has not answered questions from Amel and Sheila in the Discussion section.
