Thank you all for your very kind comments about my photo.

I agree, it's a really lovely double primrose, the Belarina series seems to have been developed in the UK. The doubles date back to Elizabethan times, often having a ruff of green leaves behind the flower.

Provenwinners are marketing these plants in the US.
