Keep indoors for the while Paula and water it from the saucer. When it looks like it's gone over, put it outside in a cool sheltered spot keeping it on the dry side, and it should reward you for another year I have one that is on its 3rd season, have just put it outside last week.
Agree with what's been said. Cyclamen, probably a persicaria cultivar.
Keep indoors in a coolish room in good light but not direct sun, watering from the bottom, until the flowers have finished. It will begin to die down , put it outside in a sheltered spot, I lay the pot on it's side. In the autumn repot the corm in fresh compost and bring it indoors again and resume watering.

it's a cyclamen. Couldn't say which species but it doesn't look like one of the UK hardy ones
You can remove the individual seed heads once the flower has finished - this should help boost the plant and to produce more new flowered stalks.
