colourful rhubarb leaves

I had to dig my rhubarb plants up last year to make way for a greenhouse. I gave several away but kept a couple, planting them in two very large pots. (Not ideal but worth a go, I thought. Won't be harvesting this year, of course.) This is on one of them. Is it anything to worry about? A nutrition thing?

    Mine sometimes do that early and late in the season. I put it down to low temps or some other sort of stress. It never seems to have any long term effect. 🤞

    Thanks very much! For all I know mine might normally do this too. I just don't remember/might not have noticed before. Quite pretty though!
    I will give them a feed at some pot now the poor things are incarcerated in pots. When I dug them up, some of the roots were 1.2 feet long! (They'd spread horizontally across the raised bed.)
