While in New Zealand we visited a garden in an area north of Rotorua where people can grow tender Vireya Rhododendrons in their gardens and saw these flowers.

have no idea what they are. I thought they might be a Chinese Primula but they apparently don't come in blues and these came in white, lavendar, light blue and blue. It is not a typical primula leaf.Please help me. I am giving a talk to a garden club about NZ rhododendrons but it would be great it I could give some clue as to what these flowers are. I am curious also.
