Jacque, I believe that Janette is right. Looking at the leaves it looks like an Azalea.

Japanese Azalea to be precise, not fully hardy Jac, - and hates central heating! best place at the moment is somewhere cool but frost free, enclosed porch or conservatory ideal, although it can go outside in the summer! they look great in terricotta pots, but like to cool roots and like their cousins the Rhododendron they like defused light rather than full sun. the worst thing you can do to this plant is let it dry out they are very thirsty, and you will find the best way to water is to fully submerge the pot in a bucket of water for 1/2 an hour or until it stops bubbling then alow to drain, you will find it hard to get enough water in if you just water from the top! ericaceous compost is a must, repot once it finishes flowering, into an outdoor pot, they really do benefit from spending summer outside, they are not really a house plant Jac, they are ok for a few weeks while in flower but will suffer inside long term they do need the elements once the danger of frost has past!
