This looks a bit like the Hymenocallis Caribaea or what we call the 'spider lily' - when it's open, it has white flowers that look rather like a spider that has six legs!! The flower has a yellow centre and stamens that can be around 10cms long.

Thanks Bernieh, but this plant grows tall, this is the first time for me to ever see it flower, I had it growing in a vase of water in the house for quite a while then decided to grow it in the ground where it grew so fast, I will try taking another pic and upload it, but I am sure I have a pic of it in one of my earlier pics.

Stunning flowers! I have seen most Dracaena species blooming here...however, I've never seen or noticed this species blooming here.
I know they are common as a garden plant and houseplant for luck.
I'll have to plant mine in the ground and see if it will bloom. Thanks for sharing!
