Can you help me ID this bulb? I'm assuming it's an actual variety and not a hybridization of what was in the pot I had.

It sort of looks like this: Amaryllis (Hippeastrum striatum)

But mine is definitely a larger bloom size...mine is about about 6". And mine doesn't seem to be fragrant, either (Hippeastrum-striatum is listed as fragrant).

Normally my amaryllis bloom indoors in January and February, but this I think I confused this bulb because I took the pot that had amaryllis bulbs in it and repotted all of the bulbs in March. (I had no idea there were so many bulbs in it, there were only 4-5 flowering amaryllis this past winter, but there were easily triple that number of bulbs in the pot! I separated them into 5-6 different pots around March.)
