Rheum palmatum tanguticum
Well, just as I had about given up hope that my ornamental rhubarb had made it through the winter, I spotted a little bud emerging from the ground yesterday. I was surprised a few weeks ago when it hadn't emerged yet, almost a month behind schedule...but I needn't have feared, it was just waiting for the right moment. I've learned the best way to make something pop up is to start planning what you're going to replace it with ;-)
It's sort of like the famous Godfather line "Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in."
ReplyDeleteI'm having more and more starting to pop through as well. It' so nice to finally see some life in the gardens and so many things budding out.

Hurray! Glad it survived. I bet it will start growing by leaps and bounds now.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth?! You plan a replacement and now you've got to rethink everything. But who's complaining, right? Glad your Rhubarb is alive.
ReplyDeleteHey that theory of replacement works for me, that is sometimes. You will probably wish it didn't if it grows like I know rhubarb grows. Ha.
ReplyDeleteHooray, glad your Rheum made it!
