Hyacynths and barrenwort, Scottish Parliament building

Hyacynths and barrenwort, Scottish Parliament building

From the flowerbeds outside the Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh. The yellow flowers are some species of barrenworts: not native plants anywhere in Britain, and presumably at one time thought to be a cure for human infertility. I wonder who selected them for these flower beds, and why.
