I'm no expert, but from your description it sounds like it could be
Cyrtanthus sanguineus

A question has come via the website about identifying a plant the writer
grew from seed collected in a California garden. She sent some photos,
which I can't forward to the list, but if someone wants to look at them
from an expert standpoint I will forward her email privately. The plant
has a flower like a Hippeastrum, bright red, single flower on a scape,
relatively large, but there are numerous rather short, narrow leaves
present at flowering. Looks like there are offset bulbs in the pot to
produce that many leaves. Any suggestions? I don't think it's a
Rhodophiala, one of the few non-hardy amaryllids I do know. It's not a
Nerine either.
