Beautiful Flower Identified as an Amaryllis

Two years ago a library patron gave Alison two plants that came to live at my house. Well, one bloomed this year and I don't know what it is but I know it's beautiful. Hoping someone can identify this flowering plant from a bulb.

New Camera Canon Powershot SX120IS

Before Christmas I purchased a new digital camera. I wasn't happy with the pictures taken with it over the holidays so I returned the camera. After looking at other cameras and reading about them on the internet I still didn't know what to buy. So guess what I brought the same one again...........the salesman convinced me to give it a second chance. So far so good, Katelyn will be the real test.
