That looks like an amaryllis to me.

and for some reason,they only bloom in the winter months, usually right before xmas. I've had my same amaryllis plant on my counter for 2 years..

its been a long green stalk for months and months.. but it always blooms beautifully in december.

you definitely can. I bought these for my e-party. They came closed and i had to take good care of them in order to bloom. The water you put them in has to stay warm, and on top of that the room you keep it in has to be warm, they grow better in warm environments. It was a pain bc i had to constantly change the water so that it stayed warm and my apt was a sauna but it was worth it bc they bloomed beautifully. Also the stem is hollow so when they start blooming the stem many times can start bending and breaking. The flower shop suggested i buy bamboo sticks and insert it in the stem, so thats what i did and it worked.
