I like lawns, and also enjoy mowing. Our lawn is whatever the surrounding field grass is - we never planted it, just started mowing the surrounding area as we were building our house, then slowly dug out garden beds. Every so often we overseed bare spots (usually from mole activity), and I am always surprised at how much greener that grass is, but whatever the field grass is eventually bullies it out. I rarely water or fertilize the lawn and it looks pretty good until the dog days of summer. I have fond memories of my Dad jumping for joy when his urban lawn turned crispy brown in late summer and he could retire the lawnmower for a month or so.
I consider dandelions and clover as my lawn flowers, along with English daisies and spring crocus I purposely planted/
