Dracanea identification

[SALOttawa]

Hello, I am a recent palm enthusiast. I started with a few dracanea, but now I am full into palms! However I have never identified my two original dracaneas. I was wondering if this forum could help me out? The first dracanea (pic 1+2) has just flowered. This is the first time since I have owned it - about 7-10 years . . . maybe more. The second is an interesting one (pic3+4). We have plug it outside in the garden the last two years. The first year, when I went to bring it inside for the winter, I noticed a smaller plant beside it had started growing. It had roots so I potted it. It continues to thrive. I started wondering how that had happened. We assumed it had dropped a branch and it had rooted. The next summer, last summer, the same thing happened, but it had popped two branches off. Both of them had rooted and so we potted them. Has anyone heard of this before?

Hi SALottowa, welcome to the forum..

First picture appears to be Dracaena fragrans.


 Third & 4th pictures looks more like a Yucca, but could be Draceana draco.. If the edge of the leaf feels raspy when you run a finger over it ( carefully, can cut ) it is a Yucca.. likely Yucca elephanthes which is used everywhere as a house plant. Non- serrated, smooth leaf edge, Draceana draco.. Same basic care regardless.  Both can easily root from any pieces that might drop off/ might be cut off.

Hope this helps..
