Amaryllis?
Father Z,
It looks like an Amaryllis Indoor flower. I received one for Christmas.
Yep, Amaryllis.
Looks like an amariyllis to me!

Fr. Z, these are called Amaryllis and bloom this time of year. They are native to South America. My wife is a Texan and her family has always included them as part of their tradition. Here is a link to more info.

Amaryllis for sure, and if you cut down the flower stalk when it’s over and keep watering the plant, it will eventually flower again… and again… and again.
I think it’s an “Audrey 2”
:-)

Fr. Z, it looks a lot like my “Red Lion Amaryllis.”
It is not an Amaryllis but an Hippeastrum. People often call it Amaryllis but that is another plant although it’s part of the same family.
It’s a flower of Texan origins, the Latin name of which is: Amarillabrickbybrick and it blooms during the various liturgical seasons.
don Jeffry, That’s the one!
We always planted them out in the yard in the early spring after the last frost, let them bloom and waited until fall to dig them up and put them in brown paper sacks in the basement. (they will freeze and die if left out all winter and that was in zone 8) They multiply and soon you have 5 sacks of huge bulbs to plant every year.
It also looks like the red crocus
I see where other friends have said that your flower is an “Amaryllis.” As for me, I have’nt a clue.
It is indeed the Red Lion Amaryllis. The update comment is also correct… this is not a true Amaryllis but simply given that monicker because of the similar family name. They are a prolific and VERY hardy species in the right climate. We don’t currently have any in our garden because they don’t thrive as well in the tropics.
It is in the genus Hippeastrum, but an accepted common name is “amaryllis” even though it’s not in the genus Amaryllis. Hippeastrum naturally bloom in spring, not winter. Bringing them and other bulbs into bloom outside their natural time is called forcing. Over the summer the plant becomes dormant and should be given minimal water until fall when the foliage re-emerges.
The accepted common name is Amaryllis. The botanical name differs. This difference is not uncommon. But don’t get precious trying correct people who are using the correct common name.
It’s a red flower…
;-)
Fr. Z:
How did it get into your kitchen? Was it Santa?
This flower is … stunning!
Wow. Father. Did you know I have the same wallpaper as you in my kitchen?! That’s awesome.
I’m fairly certain that is a dandelion.
