Which Brunsvigia

Ina,
The foliage is reminiscent of Brunsivia josephine as its leaves aren't prostrate, as for the flowers I would assume it to be a hybrid like Jim suggested!
Sadly it does look virused, if you paid for the bulb I would ask for a refund!

Thanks for the response. This is not an Hippeastrum, they are dormant
now, we are just going into winter.
I suspect Jim Lykos has the identification sorted. It is too showy for
an Amaryllis and the wrong leaves for a Brunsvigia, even the Brunsvigia
Grandiflora.
I noticed the marbling of the leaves.
I have passed on the messages to the original giver of the bulb.
Thank you
Ina

It is not Brunsvigia radulosa, looks like hippeastrum foliage in your photo.
The first one, that of the foliage, perhaps can go to the wiki but to the virus page. Those stripes are not normal in Brunsvigia, etc.
