Help with identifying this large indoor tree!

We have a large indoor tree, and has grown about 6' in 8 years. It's now about 10' tall with an 8" spread. It flowered for the 1st time last year. It was about 4' tall when we got it.

Help?

It's a Dracaena fragrans also known by the common name 'Corn plant dracaena'

Very much so. It bloomed last summer. there are two trees so I am hoping the second will bloom at some point. The smell was so strong that we had to clip it and get rid of the flower!
