I have no idea why flowers too close to the road are non-compliant. It may be something as simple as trying control front yard lawn appearance.
Good post.

In general, "plantings" are prohibited in Rights of Ways and/or easements, because whoever is the beneficiary of the Easement or owner of the ROW, doesn't want to be responsible, particularly if they have to dig it up to do repairs or whatever may occur. (There are obviously are other reasons, but what I mentioned is typical.)
