I would venture a guess that if sold at the Boston Flower Show they were 
Primula malacoides.  They can be grown from seed but are much easier 
purchased in early spring and treated as an annual.  They last many weeks 
indoors in a cool room.  We used to see them for sale occasionally with 
Easter plants but not recently.  I am looking forward to the New England show 
where we might find some of these primroses.
