Was given a whole box of these and told they are red daylilies, however I posted pics here and was told that they are not daylilies.
So now I'd like to know what they are???

Hi & welcome! Such giant bulbs, I would think they are Crinums. Do you have a pic of the bloom?

The way the green tips look is an important clue but I don't know what they are telling me. They don't say anything Amaryllis.

I agree with purpleinopp, They look like Crinums to me.

I thought so too, looking at the photos of this entry I can see how someone could mistake it for a daylily. But they are usually pink or white, not red.

Agree. They could be a more unusual one with red buds, or red stripes.

Or red blooms are possible:

They are way too big to be L. radiata. Is there another kind of Lycoris with red blooms?

For comparison to Crinum, this is a planted bulb of Crinum 'Hannibal's Dwarf':
