I have one rhubarb plant growing very well, one that is an up and comer, and the third one is tiny.

To be fair, I thought the tiny one had crown rot last year and dug it up. So this is the bit that I didn't get out. You go, little rhubarb!
I let a Victoria rhubarb bloom one year. The bees loved it. The next year I dug up and gave away well over 100 rhubarb seedlings.
 
My big one has some flower buds coming up down at the base. None of them have bloomed before.

I'd read that you should cut the flower stalks...?

If the honeybees like it, I'll let it flower! I'd love to have more growing in the patch, and the 3 crowns I bought don't look like they're going to make it.

I cut the flower stalks as soon as they start. If the plant starts blooming it produces very few usable stalks for eating/cooking.
