    Looks like possibly Paperwhite Daffodils (Narcissus papyraceus)

    Probably paperwhite, but could be hyacinth. Both are about that size and are common forced-bulbs this time of year.

    I have several paperwhite blooming now in my living room in 14″ wide pot with four big amaryllis. I prefer ro pot them properly with soil and slow release fertilizers, instead of using just water, so that they will recover and bloom again sooner when planted outside in spring, but the water method works as long as you’re ok with them skipping a year flowering (or if you are treating as a disposable flower arrangement).

    You’ll know if the leaves are more than about 6″ tall that it’s paperwhite.

    Paperwhites, narcissus, hyacinth, and amaryllis are toxic to cats and dogs, iirc.
