The only criteria for registering a cultivar are outlined here:
ICPS Cultivars --- no mention of any trials or experimental/analytical procedures necessary to define a cultivar.

Though, as you suggest, perhaps the cultivation technique is the defining factor for my success with this particular
Drosera regia.
Also, trials might help define this suspected success factor, but how would we define what we are looking for?
Wouldn't we first need to define this elusive "standard" growing conditions. Which is one thing I've long ago given up trying to do. Cultivating anything, plants included introduces the variable of the "cultivator". "Standard" implies for me that most of the CP community would need be involved in establishing (defining) this "standard". Way beyond me.
What I have done is distribute this clone to quite a few persons in many different parts of this country. It would be good to hear of their experiences with this plant. Has it grown successfully for them and what are their growing conditions and techniques?
I want to invite and encourage anyone who has obtained their
Drosera regia from me, PinguiculaMan (Joseph Clemens) to please take the time and answer those two questions for us. Even if you were not successful with this plant, please let us know what your growing conditions (techniques) were when you lost it.
Also, if you are growing
Drosera regia regardless of source (identified or not) please post here describing your successful growing technique.
