Excellent quote. But suddenly I have a desire to eat grapenuts cereal. It’s the Euell Gibbons thing. “Ever eaten a pine tree?” Though in this case; Ever eaten a flower? Many parts are edible.
Flowers are colorful in order to attract pollinators. I’d call that a utility. The fact that we generally consider them beautiful is a secondary effect.
