Drosera regia and Dionaea muscipula, though related, are in different genera and morphologically very divergent. Such a cross likely wouldn't be possible, and if it were, the resulting plants probably wouldn't be able to catch anything.
It's already bee done once but died as seedlings. I have the high confidence that if someone here took a go at this they'd be able to baby the plant through its tough stage.
I'm just curious
Is it cause Regia is still too hard to grow in general .......
I thought it was generally thought of as hardSince when? D. regia is very easy to grow.

maybe back in the day...
I think it is more of an issue of availability, since regia is somewhat difficult to acquire. I have it growing on a windowsill and it is doing fine.
I thought another issue was the price and the fact you had to feed it like every 10 seconds or it self-destructs.

.......... and the fact you had to feed it like every 10 seconds or it self-destructs.
You really shouldn't listen to myths and legends.
Why the prices are so high in the US is a mystery.
