Sorry it’s been neglected. Bought this for my apartment just over 10 years ago. It’s survived 3 moves, one pot transfer (looks like it needs another), and it ate its sibling. There were two stalks at one point. I left it at my mom’s and this is basically a checkup. I have never seen it flower before so was very curious as to what was going on?

What’s going on is literally what you see! It flowered!
Corn Plant, Dracaena fragrans.
They only flower when mature and then only every 5-15+ years.
Awesome
Awww, hey, good doggie! 🥰
Many years ago I had a corn plant. Was beautiful and healthy, flowered, loved it. It grew too tall for my house so I gave it to my SIL who had an open entry way two stories tall. It got too big for her to handle so she gave it to a church. After that I lost track.
Does it smell really fragrant? Like cologne?
That would be a Dog.
Your dog is adorable!
Flowers
Here for the dog.
No idea, but tell your doggie I say “hi”.
A Rottweiler mix?
Mine just flowered recently as well
I’ve never seen a blooming corn plant. I’m so glad you posted this image and asked!
The smelliest flower that will fill a whole room. Corn plant. My mother had one for almost 20 years when it finally bloomed and it was almost 6ft tall.

Ours is flowering right now, too! Super fragrant at night! We just figured out what it smells like: Flonase.
