My wife has been growing these flowers for a long time. She originally got them from a neighbor. Does anyone know what kind of flower they are?

They grow from a bulb. There's about eight inches from the flower to the ground.

Ideas?

We had something very similar that we always called "Rain Lilles", but I'm not sure of the actual name.

::edit:: Ok, so a quick google search seems to confirm that they are indeed rain lilies, or Zephyranthes. The images look very similar to the ones you posted, the ones we grew were a slightly different variety.

Thank you! Very quick response.

Zephyranthes grandiflora appears to be right variety.
