I went to a plants show several years ago and I won some bulbs on a raffle. They are blooming for the first time and I would appreciate if you can identify them

Looks like a cultivar of Naked Lady (Amaryllis belladonna).

Lycoris are small bulbs, about an inch across maximum, belladonna is a regular amaryllis bulb, up to 4 inches (or more) in diameter. Flowers size is bigger is well.

Surprise Lily (Lycoris squamigera) tends not to have as uniformly shaped flowers, either (often there is a slight gap in the tepals on the "bottom" of the flower).
