A Rhubarb by Any Other Name ...
... would still be one strange flower. We couldn't resist when these turned up in the flower market.
Two flowering heads are justemerging from their flower pouches while the third is still under wraps. The word rhubarb, by the way, is related to barbaric which is how some may describe these flowers. We're fascinated by the shapes, shades and textures. We think the dozens of communities that throw rhubarb festivals every year might agree with us. Should you happen to be in Lancaster County on Saturday, May 17th, you can catch racing rhubarbs at theirsemi-world-famous Rhubarb Derby.This just in! Can't get to Beijing? Starting training now for the Rhubarb Olympics in Minnesota.
