We have had this plant for many years...it has been about 5 years since it bloomed flowers. Well.....it started about 3 days ago...one 15" long shoot of small flowers that only bloom at night and emit a very strong fragrance thruout our house. Started to bloom around 7pm for the 3 days. The fragrance reminds me a little of our Lilac trees when they bloom in the spring. Any info would be great ! Thanks!

Well tom145, I've been searching for the identity of this wonderfully mystifying plant too. Finally found this website and believe our mysterious plant to be the Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana' or Corn Plant, the only one of the listed Dracaena that admits to being "flowering", but everyone must have been sleeping while it was emitting that wonderfully pungent fragrance that is a cross between Gardenias and lilacs.

My husband and I purchased our plant over 20 years ago and it has always set on the ledge next to the jacuzzi under the skylight, where it has grown to about 12' tall, but never bloomed. This year while away on a three week vacation, I hooked up an automatic waterer for it, so it had lots of water and some extra fertilizer and maybe this year the stars were all aligned just right, because last week we were astounded, as you apparently were, to discover these pretty night blooming flowers with the wonderful fragrance that filled the whole house. It's funny to see that your pictures are almost identical to mine, but now as the blooms and the fragrance are fading, I hope we don't have to wait 5-20 more years for this wonderful experience to happen again.
