Amanda, if you haven't already done so, cut the flower stalk off. It will only sap energy from the plant that you want to go to the stems and roots. You may also want to think about dividing the plants since I assume your mother's patch has been around a while. Lots of good on line advice about that. Good luck with the rhubarb!
