Help With Plant/Flower ID

I've had this lovely perennial for years, but I've never figured out what it is. My mom gave it to me- it came from her plant, which came from her elderly neighbor's plant, and she'd had it for years...that lady called them "bluebonnets", but upon looking up the bluebonnet, I highly doubt that's what it is.
It's possible it's only perennial in Southern regions...we have mild winters but we do get a few hard freezes each year; still, it always comes back for me.

It's quite often seen as a house plant in places with colder winters.
