Most likely spent timed release fertilizer that whoever grew the flowers used.

I'm with Leigh on this one. I'd stomp on them with hob-nails.

As per the first answer...i'd say it was the osmocote fertilizer.

Snail eggs are clear, and white. I think the yellow ones are old slow release fertiliser, as T says.
