I have been given a number of these flowers. They grow from an onion like bulb whilst the stem and leaves resemble those of a daffodil. The flower as you can see is Orange, but I believe there are other colours available. My plants have been growing in shaded surrounds and have been blooming for about 6 weeks. I would like any information that might help me to grow these plants.20210424_121110.jpg.50140c059839244ed49eac637183babd.jpg20210424_121119.jpg.ec04da725793a27a070bf4dec32a97f6.jpg

Thanks to everyone who responded, some good information. I do have plans to move the bulbs to large container(s) as I currently have 3 pots with one still in bloom.

The gf says it’s “ wan phet tit “.

We have had these for quite a while, the flowers fall off and they come back on their own without any interaction from us.

Amaryllis.  Fast growing Lilly.. grown from bulb...in temperate climates an indoor plant often just grown for one season...a common Xmas gift. The pre potted bulb  is often given as a Christmas  gift and flowers by March April may

Hence the nick name I know them by, 'Christmas Lilly'

I used to grow the larger bright red ones, and striped ones, each Christmas back in the uk. It was a tradition.

 

That pink colour seems the most common here....and I have seen there is also a variety the same colour that is all shredded up into a ball and looks like a pompom.

Hi

 

Download the app PictureThis. Assuming you have a mobile phone with camera, it can identify thousands of flowers and shrubs.

Gems like this is why I'm still a follower on TV.

Yes this is a Spring Lily and grown about the time of  early April....It is not an Amaryllis as they grow only around Christmas time and have a much thicker stem and not so fragile.

Known in Thai as khem see tit - four directions because the flowers on one stem point four ways

I think the above comments have pretty much nailed the identity of this flower, many thanks again for all the responses. Just out of interest, I stumbled upon plantnet.org which found the plant immediately, and sure enough:
Hippeastrum puniceum (Lam.) Voss - Amaryllidaceae - Barbados lily OR
Hippeastrum striatum (Lam.) H.E.Moore – Amaryllidaceae - Striped Barbados lily, take your choice.
So, thanks again.
