I love celtuce, a couple years ago I met with some farmers and asked if they could plant it for me-it turned out great. I don't know what particular species they grew, but the flavor was much stronger then the celtuce I've purchased at asian markets, it had a super strong aroma and needed longer cooking to be tender.
