RE: flowering cordyline?

I've seen it blooming for as long as I can remember.  Actually,
sometimes you smell it before you see it on a really tall old one.  You
look around and there it is.  I have seen it blooming in hot areas of
California all over the place during the summer, but if I think about
it, it is only the older taller ones I can recall seeing in bloom, so
they probably require some level of maturity before they will send up
these outrageously huge panicles of very sweetly-scented flowers.

Have you ever seen a cordyline in flower?  In reading about them, I  
find reference to spring or summer white flowers - some fragrant.  I  
can't recall ever seeing one flower, can you?  Under what conditions  
do they flower?
