    Rhubarb flowers

    In a corner of the garden I have some rhubarb. This year it is in flower. Lots of flowers. Never seen rhubarb flowers before. Photos to follow.

    I was wondering if any of the gathered congregation had one of those moments where they went something like, "Didn't know it <did x>, gosh"?

            I used to have some rhubarb in my garden. I loved it, cared for it, fed it (and made crumble out of it), but it never did that. The flowers look wrong though.

              My wife asked our friend "why are those onions all covered in soil"... she thought they grew on trees

                Looks purty, must say i've seen a lot of Rhubard in my time but never noticed it flowering like your pics.

                Word on the street though is you need to get rid of the flowers if you want a decent crop: Rhubarb Flower

                  My parents always grew rhubarb and in the eighteen years that I lived with them I never saw a flower display once.


                  OK, for the first couple of years I wouldn't have noticed at all, so call that sixteen years that it didn't happen.

                    tsk

                    I have this nagging feeling that I should look closer at the picture. Is it me, or does it look like the flower stalks are attached to the rhubarb stalks with tape?
