amaryllis

Trumpet-flowered houseplant

Amaryllis is a bulbous plant with large, showy trumpet-shaped flowers, typically red, pink, or white.

Popular as a winter houseplant, amaryllis bulbs are often given as gifts and forced to bloom indoors around the holidays: The amaryllis on the windowsill finally opened.

The name is sometimes applied loosely to related plants like the belladonna lily.
