I got word that there was a Yuka who tended the flowers in a public park in a certain part of the city, so I decided to go check it out.
The park was in the middle of town, a few minutes' walk from the station. Nicely maintained, it was an oasis of peace for the nearby residents.
I reached the flower bed that was my destination, and there among the beautifully blooming pansies was a single yukkuri Yuka.
The Yuka was pulling weeds. When I questioned her, she replied that she was tending the flower bed because the "flower miss" had asked her to.
I talked to some local housewives who were chatting nearby, and they said that she didn't make a mess of the park or sing noisy songs, and she chased away other yukkuris who came to loot the flower bed, so apparently even the park keeper tolerated her.
And they told me that this Yuka was known and loved as "Yuka of the Flower Bed."
