Primula veris?
By Bernard
Cambridgeshire,
United Kingdom 
I bought this plant a a garden show and the label said Primula veris. When I looked it up I believe that Primula veris is a Cowslip, so could the label be wrong?

I always thought this was one of the primula auriculas. The Victorians used to have display shelves with different varieties.

It's definitely a Gold Lace Group primula. P.auricula has smooth grey-green leaves
