It's a hippeastrum (aka amaryllis). I don't know the variety. The one called "hardy amaryllis" is H. johnsonii...the way I can tell mine is that the leaves are kind of reddish...

Very pretty...............and my daughter, who lives in Austin, has them blooming already. Mine bloom later here in North Texas.

That sure is a pretty weed also, love your Amaryllis, very nice display of color.

It is a Miranda Amaryllis. Barbra

Jessy, they are beautiful. I think they are the very common Hippeastrum 'Minerva'.

Carol in Jacksonville

I meant to say Minerva, sorry, The three common ones are Red Lion, Apple Blossom, and Minerva. I buy them after Christmas when they mark them down 75%. Barbra

Thank you all so much for your replies! Really appreciate it. Carrie, I'm about 2 hours south of Austin so yes they are blooming here too. I've got three in the backyard and just planted two more in the front.

The "weed" is Esparanza aka yellow bells
