Nice flower, is it blooming outside? I think it's related to my Amaryllis: https://500px.com/photo/93540127/amaryllis-by-attila-boros but mine might be a hybrid, barely has any scent. We don't associate it with Christmas, although this year it was blooming exactly on that day. I keep it indoors, but blooming is inconsistent... whenever it feels like it.
