Hi Diana, Another nice post! Jacob and I both love these curly leaves, and I know this young friend of yours, who happen to be our friend as well. :) The Albuca spiralis on your page is what I would call Albuca namaquensis. Albuca spiralis has glandular hairs on the leaves, whereas A. namaquensis does not. If you want to move to a new site, try Google Blog. I have used it and it's very good and highly recommend it for you. You should have no problem with formatting with Google Blog. Happy planting!
