Crocus

sure it is not the frost damaging the flowers? in my garden the flowerheads wilted and shriveled away after the frost we had last week.

Are they yellow crocus? I seem to remember my parents could never grow yellow crocus because of bird damage but purples and mauves were A

a mixture

Our mice do.. (I reduced the gray squirrel population a few years ago and it has not recovered locally - hundreds more in the local woods where they are fed!)

I don't know why I did not remember this earlier, but looking at the sprouted bulbs today around the hive I noticed a few chewed to the ground which jogged my memory.
last year I noticed the odd vole coming out of the dry stone wall and chewing the tops of bulbs and other flowers in the border and then taking a mouth full back in the hole in the wall, so there's a very good chance it could be Voles.

so there's a very good chance it could be Voles.

Crocus..... could be Frogs eating them.
