Green thumbs not welcome!

The Quincy Housing Authority in Massachuse­tts banned flowers and plants from the lawns at its garden apartments, saying all must be removed by May 5, the Boston Herald reports.

“Do not plant a garden,” the QHA warned, “if you started a garden STOP!”

The ban came without explanatio­n, prompting one resident to gripe to the paper, “I’d love to know what their homes look like — I bet you they have flowers.”

The rite has farmers loose their milk cows into the fields after a long winter as city slickers gawk.

What’s better than Domino’s? The German police!

Cops in Gaggenau, about an hour west of Stuttgart, helped out a pizza-delivery man who crashed his car — by making sure his pies got to their destinatio­n.

The pizzas were “shaken but still edible,” police said.

This story’s got legs. A woman in Britain stumbled around with a large traffic marker on her head, leaving just her legs and platform shoes visible in a video that went viral.

Just trying to cross the street was an adventure, with the walking traffic marker eventually falling to its knees before the woman rolls over, helpless, still wearing the big bollard on her head.

The cost of this pricey pillow may keep you up at night: $57,500.

It took a Dutch neck specialist 15 years to create the world’s most expensive pillow, made of Mulberry silk, Egyptian cotton, non-toxic memory foam and 24-carat gold fabric.

Even the zipper is fancy: It has four diamonds and a 22.5-carat sapphire, according to LuxuryLaun­ches.com.
