could it be an iris?

I thought some sort of umbrella plant?/

I wondered if it's a canna?

It looks like an amaryllis to me, Barb.

well well. I guess we're gonna have to wait and see.

I think it's an amaryllis. The right side looks like a dried up amaryllis bulb. There aren't many bulbs that I know of that will bloom without water nor soil.

Where did I get the 5th amaryllis?

HIDE AN WATCH.

Steve

Might be on i t.. i did plant cannas in the beds?

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Sounds closer??

Hide an watch.

I agree it looks like a amaryllis to me also.

Yep its an Amerilla...!!!

Amaryllis blooming in May?////

We'll see

If grown in their normal climate they are a spring blooming bulb. People force them to bloom at Christmas. By putting them in the dark and not watering. I do not force mine and they bloom Feb-May. I like blooms in the middle of winter when I need them most.

I have one with a bud like your plant now.

iTS CRAZY IF IT IS.NO soil just threw it into an ice cream bucket??????
