I have an ornamental corn plant in my backyard which
has sprouted babies. Does anyone know what happens next?
I would like to grow as many as I can.

I know what you mean about the fragrance. :-)
I recognize the plant and bloom. They have one in the hospital dining
room where I work and it bloomed about 3 years ago.

The smell is divine and it scented the entire room!

Once many moons ago one bloomed in the room just outside our bedroom.
I had to remome it to a far distant place so that we could sleep.
After too much of that smell it becomes sick sweet smelling. Too much
sweet is not good sometimes.

You're right, it isn't corn.

I took care of the interior plants at the local hospital and these
bloomed occasionally, once I had to move one out of a waiting room
because the smell was too overpowering for the staff.

Amazing aren't they? :-)

I'm seriously considering trying to get one for the greenhouse.

Tis the problem with common names...

To the OP, that's very interesting, I've never seen one bloom.
