Answer
Enrique,

It is an Allium bulb or a flowering onion. I cannot tell you exactly which variety and I have spent over an hour searching the internet trying to find it on the internet. It is a beautiful pink variety of a flowering onion. It should be treated exactly like an onion or any other Allium. You can look on the internet for care instructions for alliums and go from there. In fact here is a great site for instructions on care: http://www.youcanlearnseries.com/Landscape/Plants/Allium.aspx

I love alliums, take good care of it.
