Amaryllis and it’s the first time I have seen one bloomed.

OP, as you might imagine, producing those flowers is a significant energy expenditure. Make sure you keep on watering her until she shows clear signs of drying up for the summer. And a small dose of fertilizer right about now will be welcomed!

We’re is this? They won’t survive outside here.

Amaryllis! Not sure where in the world you are, but where I am (Northeastern US) they’re brought outside in the summer once it’s 70F and above, sometimes left in a pot and sometimes transplanted into the ground, then dug up in the late summer/early fall once it starts to cool, left in a dark cool place at about 50F for 6-8 weeks, then put in a sunny window which “forces” the flower to bloom around the Christmas holidays. Depending on where you live, it could be a bulb the previous owners accidentally left in the ground, or maybe it’s warm enough that it lives there all year! Very cool. I have the same exact one sitting on my windowsill right now.

Called St Joseph Lily in my family. I have bulbs passed down from my great grandmother’s yard. I dig my bulbs up every time I move. I love to give away bulbs as they multiply. (I am in Georgia, USA)
