SHOCK

If I'm reading the French correctly, others who know French better than I do can confirm that when I put up this link, I just found out that it originated in the US and was named in honor of Roi Humbert/Umberto, whatever, King of Italy.

OK, I have to stop this obsession of finding out more about this variety, but it's making more sense that Norbert in France sent it to us in that huge trade in 1992/

Now I MUST go to bed and stop looking at different websites and Google, at least until tomorrow.
