Can anyone identify this? It is beautiful but I don’t know how to care for it. Here are some pics.

Here is what the leaves look like. That is a lily behind it.

This plant is now in the Genus Ismene.

Anywho, I grow this well, just make sure you keep them nice and moist, they like a bit more water than most other bulbs! They're a hybrid and they're beautiful :) I have 2 or 3 pots of them! They're typically hard to bloom in pots but you're zone 8 so I think you'll be okay to keep them in the ground, just give them good protection, throw on some extra mulch or leaves!
