RE: Color Challenge - Wednesday Yellow - Corner Flowers
I'm pretty sure those are Aubrieta, they have both purple and yellow varieties. They're actually part of the cabbage family.

Really beautiful!
Aubrieta
Aubrieta (commonly known as Aubretia) is a genus of about 20 of flowering plants in the cabbage family Brassicaceae. The genus is named after Claude Aubriet, a French flower-painter. It originates from southern Europe east to central Asia but is now a common garden escape throughout Europe. It is a low, spreading plant, hardy, evergreen and perennial, with small violet, pink or white flowers, and inhabits rocks and banks.
The purple ones are aubrietia @daan but I don't think the yellow ones are. Aubretia grow with a single flower on a single stalk but if you look at the yellow ones they have a more clustered umbrella type formation.
I could be wrong though. 😁
My mistake, I think those yellow ones might be daffodils? They really seem to grow next to aubrietia pretty often, I've found very similar formations through Google Image Search. Maybe just because it's a very popular colour combination for gardeners?
Ha, ha, ha. They are definitely not daffodils @daan. These are ground level plants. Daffodils grow on a single stalk about a foot high and at a different time of year! 😂
On the whole Google is rubbish at identifying flowers.
At least you tried though. 😊
The flowers just looked as if they were Narcissus genus, but I'm rubbish too at identifying flowers :)
