I suppose it might be a primula. I have scores of primroses but the leaves look a bit thick and dark

@B3 Yes it is a primula. The give away is the darker colour in the leaf at the base. Not sure if it is an indicator of the flower colour. I have P Vulgaris it is just slightly darker at the base of the leaf.
The most serious gardening I do would seem very strange to an onlooker,for it involves hours of walking round in circles,apparently doing nothing. Helen Dillon.
There are one or two coloured ones dotted about. Looks like it might be a dark one. No flower buds that I noticed. Maybe next spring .Thanks @GardenerSuze. I'm sure you're right.
Time will tell. It's unlikely to be the vulgaris, though. The leaves aren't the same. So long as it's not that really dark yellow, I don't mind.

Some of the dark red and dark purple primulas do seem to have darker leaves.

That's what I'm hoping but to be honest, they're gatecrashers. I love the wild primrose - vulgaris best. I think the cultivars are more likely to be vulgar😏
