Why do some photos float between events?

I imported a bunch of photos by dragging a folder from Desktop onto iPhoto (iPhoto 8.1.2 on OS X 10.8.5) but weirdly, it didn't make an event with the name of the folder from which they came (as it normally does) - instead, I see them all shown between my very first event and the next event - they don't seem to belong to any event. What does this mean?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm in Photos view, and all my photos are in groups (with a little triangle on the left that can expand them); these groups are named by the names of the folder which was dragged to iPhoto to import them. I thought these were the events. My last import, oddly, stuck a bunch of photos inbetween two such groups - they don't belong to a named group somehow. Any idea what this is?
