    Primrose

    Thank you, I am not sure any of those are exactly right the Gloxinia maybe the closes. The leaves are different on all the suggestions. The bloom does grow out of the middle like in the African Violet family but the leaves are not fuzzy. Love mysteries!

    They're primulas. I got some for my husband real cheap, end of season stuff. Most of them survived once they got watered regularly. They grow low to the ground and winter over. Early spring they bloom, sometimes even into summer, or whenever the plant feels like it. The some of the leaves don't seem to die off during winter, just stagnate til spring when they perk up again. I live in northern New Hampshire. They did pretty good up here.

    This is a definite primrose, I have several in my gardens, in several colors, love them, even in winter when the snow melts off of them they are flowering. Only if the leaves are turning yellow/brown, I just take scissors and cut them off close to the base, and also pinch off spent flowers at the edge of the flower. they like a most shade and don"t water overhead but at roots. They are some of the very first perrenials to flower in the spring, and if you get assorted colors they make a statement in the garden in early spring. This is the low growing one,(my personal favorite), they are also sold in a taller version.
