Flowering is quite natural for rhubarb, both. It flowers in order to propagate itself and so this will take a lot of energy away from the leaves. Normal practice is to remove the flowers as soon as you see them so that they keep putting energy into the stems. I have already removed several flowers from ours this year

hi i'm no expert but i would suggest that the rhubarb is maybe too dry i do'nt think it should be flowering it usually means it is struggling put more water on and see.
