Flowering Rhubarb



It's been a couple months now since I divided our rhubarb into three separate plants and relocated. All three are doing just fine and growing as if they've been in their new locations for years now. I'm convinced that you can't kill this plant.

Today, two of the three plants are flowering, which is a first for this original and these newly divided plants. Since I'm not a big rhubarb eating fan, I'm gonna leave the flowers alone as they're quite impressive. I've read that doing so reduces the vigor of the plant and shortens it's stalk producing season but, again, I'm really only growing it as an ornamental, so no worries.
