Not sure what this plant is in the Plant ID forum

Hi,
This is my first post, so please forgive me if you need more information in order to respond.

My sister gave me this funny plant about a year ago, and I have no idea what it is. Since I took the first picture, it has put up babies around the circumference of the main bulb. The main bulb also seems smaller now. (The second picture was taken a few minutes ago.)

Thanks for any help you can give!

Looks like Albuca.

Yes! That's clearly what it is - Albuca Polyphylla. Thank you so much.
