Jim,
I think you have it with P. anomola, which has this type of flower and
foliage. Colour may vary from rose red to a magenta. There is another
possible entity, which I have never seen, P. hybrida. Some believe it to
be a hybrid between P tenufolia x P. anomola, while others say it is a
good species. P. veitchii is similar, but has 3 flowers per stem, while
P. anomola has but one.
Maybe one our experts can add to this.
