It isn't something you can eat but it is called Blue Ginger (Dichorisandra Thyrsiflora).
I'm not sure if the flowers have a fragrance but the stalk looks almost like bamboo.
There are taller versions of this in my parent's yard but their original plant was brought over from my father's parent's yard on the Big Island many many moons ago.
Glad to see it is still around.
