It looks like a lilly what type I am not sure.
This flower is called an amaryllis. It can be purchased in most gardening sections, especially this time of year. It is a large bulb that comes in a kit box, bulb, soil and pot.
A bulb, Amaryllis, likely.
It's an amaryllis; we have them growing in four different feed tubs! You'll be able to divide the bulbs eventually for more plants.
It is an Amaryllis and if you google Amaryllis Minerva, I think you will see your flower. Not absolutely sure, as I haven't grown Amaryllis in a while
PS
If you don't think it's Minerva, google Apple Blossom. I do think its one or the other.
It is definitely an Amaryllis. I only say so because my best friend is a master gardener and she has stamped it so. ;)
Definitely an Amaryllis and I think it's Apple Blossom. Here are some tips about aftercare. Your bulb will continue to grow and have more flower stems if you feed and water it in the right way, and give it the temperature it needs.
It is an amaryllis. I have one now that will blossom in about a week. Keep it after blossoming, as it will produce more later. Keep the soil damp and place in a window in bright, indirect light. In spring you may transfer to your outside garden. I live in WI so cannot put outside till late spring.
Looks like an Amaryllis to me.
You have many answers and I do believe they are all right. It is an amaryllis and they are sold at this time of year at Walmart and many garden centers.
I have just purchased several as Walmart had them greatly reduced and I love this flower. i always grow my bulbs indoors until winter is over.
Last year I found a web site with this information and it worked well for me this past year. Maybe it will be helpful for you:
Amaryllis can be encouraged to blossom again the following year.
It takes a little planning and extra care, but is quite simple and very rewarding. After the flowers have faded, cut the flower stalk to within 1" of the top of the bulb. Continue to water and feed the plant regularly with a liquid houseplant fertilizer.
Amaryllis will grow a number of leaves during the spring and summer. This will help the plant produce energy for the following year's bloom. In mid-August, begin withholding water and let the foliage die back naturally as the pot dries out completely.
Store the dormant bulb in a cool, dark and dry place for a minimum of eight weeks. About five to eight weeks before you want the amaryllis to flower again, (optional - repot the bulb in fresh potting soil) and resume watering sparingly at first.
Once you see new growth, increase watering.
You can expect another dramatic floral display within five to eight weeks. By following these basic care guidelines, you will be able to encourage your amaryllis to flower year after year.
Here is a good web site that has lots of Amaryllis information:

Planting times vary but this is my info (Florida):
This is the only info I could obtain for general planting times:
Amaryllis are super easy to keep. Sometimes I have forgotten to water mine for months. They have been in the same soil for years without any fertiliser and they still produce flowers and good strong leaves. After a while they will also produce "babies" in the form of new bulbs growing around the mother bulb. These can be pulled off and planted separately
It is an Amaryllis. They are usually sold about this time of the year (around Christmastime). They are beautiful when they blossom. I have stored mine in the basement after the bloom dies off and was pleasantly surprised the next year that it would blossom again.
It's an Amaryllis for sure. And yes, they can be successfully kept and will continue to bloom year after year. ENJOY!
Thank you all so much for answering my question about my little flowered plant. Since I first posted it, it has now sprouted three beautiful flowers!
I have one that blooms every year. It should have come with instructions on how to keep it from year to year
This looks like an Amaryllis.
It's an amaryllis, blooms supposedly near Xmas. Mine blooms whenever it wants to!
It's an amaryllis
This is an Amaryllis. It's a bulb-type flower sort of like a tulip, but they typically flower during Christmas. They also come in white and red varieties.
Amyrilis they bloom once a year. After it has died off put the bulb In a dry place. I think around October the are brought back out and by Xmas ya have amother flower

It's an amaryllis. They will die after blooming. Bulbs can be stored in dark and repotted in spring

Amerillous
It is called an Amaryllis. I have one! The flower blooms during winter.
Amarrylis
This is an amaryllis. Simple care tips: If the pot has drainage at the bottom and it is in high light (according to your pic, this placement of the flower is high light) then water thoroughly until water comes out the bottom of the pot (basically soak the soil and let the water run out of the drainage hole). If no drainage hole, then only water after the top half inch (1 cm) of soil has dried out then light-medium watering. When you stick your finger or a popsicle stick in and it comes out moist, DO NOT WATER. The soil should be fairly dry before you water again.
The secret to getting amaryllis bulbs to rebloom year after year lies largely in summer care after flowering. Remove the faded flowers and stalks as soon as they are finished blooming but do not cut off the leaves (the leaves coming out of the bulb-DO NOT CUT THESE OFF). This will help produce a strong, healthy bulb.
That is an amaryllis. It generally flowers at Christmas time.
Amerilis
Amarillis
Plants of the genus Amaryllis are known as belladonna lily, Jersey lily, naked lady, amarillo, Easter lily in Southern Australia or, in South Africa, March lily due to its propensity to flower around March. This is one of numerous genera with the common name "lily" due to their flower shape and growth habit. Wikipedia
