Rhubarb Stalks are not Red

Why don't the stalks on my Rhubarb plants turn red? They seem to stay green.

Doug says you have a variety with green stems. If you're used to supermarket types with very red stems, they're bred for that. There are red-stemmed varieties on the market - you can check with your favorite local garden center (not box store) and they'd likely be able to order you some.
