My SIL gave me some bulbs that looked like turnip roots. This is the gorgeous flower that grew from that bulb. The person who gave the bulbs to her said that these grow wild in Florida. Does anyone know the name of it? It grew SO fast you could almost see it moving while watching it grow.

Looks a lot like Allium to me, but I've never seen a red one. I have several in my yard, but they are purple. Look here and see if this is what your plant looks like:
