I think they are primula polyanthus, certainly the red and yellow ones.

In Ireland, 'primrose' is mostly used for the little pale yellow ones you see growing wild under hedges at the edges of fields. These are the cultivated variety and would be called Primulas, or Polyanthas if you wanted to sound really posh ;) |

you are right of course, however, since this is a world market and many would not know that particular distinction, most in the US would call it a Primrose, so unless you wanted to exclude the US market, adding Primrose in the description would be astute :-) |
