Primula
 

Came across this primula today at Morrison's, no name, and in fact no
price on any of the pots so I made an offer for 2 and they accepted it.
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?

I've had some good bargains from Morrisons. Like all supermarkets they
aren't set up for watering, so they have to clear the stock before it
dries out

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

Thanks folks
That looks like the one.
I had forgotten the term "Jack in the Green"
Our Morrisons do water their plants, often after they are dead and still
on display.
