    Den phal types are used as edible garnish pretty commonly and sometimes in salads. No taste really, and probably not much nutrition or calories, but pretty. Probably many others could be eaten, but unless there is a taste or nutrition reason a big fleshy Catt flower would probably be a bit unpleasant in texture, and I don't even want to think about steamed Bulbo flowers.
