Plants I'm Growing: Heat tolerant lettuce

Last year in the garden, we had particularly good harvests of carrots and lettuce. The lettuce held up well throughout the season, despite the heat and getting less water than it likely would have appreciated. I lost the seed packets (until today). As I will surely lose them again, I'm posting  here so that I'll be able to find the names  in the future and I thought others living in California might be interested to know about these varieties that seem especially well suited to our climate. I've just planted some for this year. 

The lettuce varieties that did so well were both butterhead types, one called 'Kagraner Sommer' (from Renee's Garden but likely available from other suppliers) and 'Rhapsody' (also from Renee's Garden)
