They are almost like Hose in Hose, but instead of a lower set of petals

they have a collar of small leaves like a single flower posy.

Anyone have any idea of the variety?

The flower shape, of flower in a ruff of leaves, is known as "jack in

Thanks folks

I had forgotten the term "Jack in the Green"
Our Morrisons do water their plants, often after they are dead and still
