Lee's Walks: Flowers in purple and white - hardy primrose

Photo by Lee Lageschulte

Almost three weeks until the start of spring, but these guys are getting a head start. I haven't a clue what they are - something exotic perhaps. The leaves look like they belong in a greenhouse rather than outside in the Pacific Northwest.

Anyone care to identify?
