    I am trying to identify this plant that was given to me from my great grandmother after she died.

    Looks like a giant Amaryllis, or a relative thereof.

    Botanically a Hippeastrum. There are web site(s) with galleries of photos and brief descriptions of some of the many kinds.

    thanks. My mom has been trying to tell me that it is a Lily of some sort. I do know that plant is over 100 years old.
