Albuca spiralis

[Roberta]

I don't buy many non-orchids, but this one really reached out and grabbed me. The curly leaves are soooo cute! Its nickname/common name is "Frizzle Sizzle", native to the western and northern Cape provinces of South Africa. It lives on my patio near the Cymbidiums, getting lots of light. It is in a sandy terrestrial mix. After blooming the growths die back, but the new growth appears within a month or two. It is quite fragrant, with sort of a grassy scent.
