    Solution

    The phrase "a bursting of colourful flowers" is grammatically incorrect. The correct idiomatic expression should be "a burst of colourful flowers." The word "burst" refers to an eruption or a sudden appearance, which makes sense in this context, whereas "bursting" is a verb and doesnтАЩt fit here. Corrected sentence: "The moment you cross the resortтАЩs grand red-stone entrance walls, a burst of colourful flowers welcomes you and keeps you company throughout your stay."
