Why are yellow flowers always the first to come out in spring time?
Apart from questioning your observation that yellow flowers are the first to appear, as somebody else already has done, I should imagine it's something to do with nitrogen availability. The yellow colour is the consequence of a bond with nitrogen, don't ask me for details though ...

Reply:Yellow flowers are always the first to come out in the springtime because the bees and other insects mostly pollinate bright colored flowers. There are yellow flowers first so the insects and the bees could come out faster.

Reply:Yes, I've noticed that it seems that similar colored flowers seem to bloom together. However, the flowers in the garden says as much about what humans like, rather than what blooms in nature.





Flowers often attract a particular insect to pollinate them, and a color could help the adult insect to find nectar and the flower is pollinated so the plant can make seeds. Some insects have an annual pattern of how they grow from an egg through an adult. Often, only the adult has wings. An adult can fly from flower to flower.





Why don't you look around your neighborhood, and watch closely. What insects visit which flowers? Do the insects seem to have a certain flower they like?
