Help with these pretty flowers

I got this plant as a gift a few months ago and it recently bloomed and I really like it. It didn't come with a care tag or name tag. I was hoping someone on here knows or has seen it and can tell me what it is called!!
Thanks

I think it's some sort of cordyline. Can you post a picture of the entire plant?

yes, a full picture of the plant would be helpful
to me this looks like a Dracaena fragrans, but again hard to tell without a full picture.
does it have a scent?

I agree with jessicalee.
I have a cream and dark green leaf Dracaena fragrans with the same bloom except in white color.

Totally off topic, but I just looked up what as Dracaena is, to quickly realize my grandmother calls them "Dracs"...and all I can think to myself is:

"Wait....that thing they grow in main entrance of my apartment for "greenery" flowers? And pretty ones no less!?!"

I might start fertilizing the sucker just to see if I can get it to bloom. >)

Those flowers are just lovely, once we know for sure what it is...I'm going to add it to my wish list.

i am pretty sure it is a Dracaena fragrans, they are pretty easy to take care of, mine is only a baby, i hope someday it flowers guess i should give it more sun..... oh wait.. the 'chids.......
the smell should be sweet..

Amblnc38, i know there are a ton of "Dracs" but it would be worth a try

If I had the means I'd be a "Guerrilla Gardner" like the ones I follow in the UK. I'll just be the "Guerrilla Maintenance" person. >)

I really would get arrested where I live for it if I got caught. I have told my apartment complex their mulch volcanoes are gonna kill the trees here.
