Which Rhubarb ?

I extended my fruit raised bed this weekend, moved some gooseberrys that had self rooted etc and now have room for 2 [ok, maybe 3] more rhubarb plants.

I already have several dotted around the garden, not sure of names/varieties, some are from what was here when I reclaimed the garden and split up, and some from Garden Center/country show etc so all fairly run of the mill. I suspect some are earlies as a few brave leaves are poking out already.

Anyone got any recommendations [ok, and sources] of any relatively easy but unusual/special varieties that would be worth trying ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Bill, they have a great range, very impressive, but at £25 for 3 plants a little more than I had in mind !

Anyone else ?
