Absolute identification. This plant is known in lay terms as a "corn plant" right off the top of my head I cannot remember the latin name. I have an article on this plant that I pulled out of a plant magazine one time. My sister had this plant and she had it for many many many years, and one time it bloomed. Like you said, the fragrance was intoxicating. It perfumed her house for quite a long time, if I remember correctly, the fragrance was more strong at night. When I saw the article in the magazine about the corn plant, I saved it and showed her. I will reread about this plant tomorrow and post a little more information about the latin name, etc. It is very rare that this plant blooms or what triggers the bloom to be born. But when it does, man does it!!!! Check out tomorrow morning, I will hopefully get a chance to resurrect this article on your pretty house plant. Cindi
