Looking through old threads on the forum and looking at some of the active (and now seemingly inactive sites dedicated to this plant) I was struck by two things:
I have the impression that we now have far fewer varieties available in the UK/ EU than we did in the past. On reading Vasteq's post and then blog it seems that tens of varieties were available.

I also noted that far more seem to be available outside the UK - particularly in the US with 100s of varieties available.
I wondered if anyone could spread any light on this? I noted that someone mentioned Tropica giving up on them.
