Queen guitarist Brian May barred from planting daffodils in his village on safety grounds

How could daffodils be a safety concern? Is there some kind of poisoning concern because there's unsupervised children or pets? That seems like a stretch, but it's hard to imagine what else --

May told his 3.6 million followers that he is “reluctantly” canceling his order for more bulbs, adding: “We were all hoping to adorn the main Village Green for next Spring … but sadly the Parish Council last night rejected my plan. Apparently the main objection is that the sight lines on the Green will be affected for traffic. We’re struggling to imagine how 18 inch stalks could instruct anyone’s view! Especially when the green is normally surrounded by parked vehicles, including a 7 foot high ice cream van!!!”

Oh, I was having too much faith in the people making decisions again, okay.
