Answer
Hi Melanie,
Thanx for your question.  I believe the plant in the photo is Peruvian Daffodil (Hymenocalis x Festalis).  It goes by a number of other names depending on where you're at.  Peruvian Daffodil is the most common.  It is not a daffodil but related to the Amaryllis family.  Bulbs can be found in the spring at various garden centers.  The plant will grow into a large clump in warmer climates (Zone 8 and above), otherwise, you will need to lift the bulbs in the fall and store them in a cool, dry, dark basement for the winter.  Here's a link and I hope this helps.
Tom
