Danger: roadside flowers

3-11°C, light SW wind, dry.


The flowers are going to kill you: BBC news.
They are to be banned because of some Health&Safety "issue". Issue means "problem" these days. What has not so far been made clear is what the mechanism is that links the presence of flowers by the roadside and a danger to passing traffic. If Memorial flowers are a risk to drivers somehow, are the flowers on roundabouts also a risk? Are flowers somehow drawing drivers from a safe path with their delicate colours and alluring scent? Some kind of modern landlocked Siren?
And a concern for me- are they some threat to me as a cyclist? There are too many unanswered questions- including – is local government having trouble attracting the brightest minds from our growing pool of graduates?
