@Stomata Looks like a lily. Not knowing my plants, all I can say for sure is that it's a monocot of some sort, which is a huge clade including both lilies and onion. Assuming your neighbor gave you a bulb, Wikipedia suggests it's probably from the Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis family), Liliaceae (lily family), or possibly a few species from Iridaceae (iris family). Assuming you aren't too far from where this plant is commonly grown, you could submit it to iNaturalist, where you can get ID suggestions from an AI and human IDers can also chime in, though the site is normally more meant for documenting wild specimens. But it's a handy citizen science app that helps you learn the wildlife around you and also documents them for research purposes later! (If you hate making an account, you can also use Seek, which uses iNat's AI database without an account.)
