The next two photos show rhubarb as part of attractive boulevard plantings that include mostly flowering plants and bushes.
I've seen numerous rhubarb plants along the lanes--here is one example:

In the fourth photo the rhubarb looks mature but is still green. Ours is like that too which bothered me until I looked it up and found that indeed, there are several green cultivars with their own very delicious tastes: http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/rhubarb-varieties.html#TOC7
