If you got your plant awarded, than you _have_ to give it a clonal name.
You can give any of your plants a clonal name as long as they don't already
have one. You can't (ethically) change an existing clonal name. Normally
when plants are awarded, used for breeding, or propagated and sold as a
particular cultivar they are given a clonal name.

I read about this on clonal name:

"1. Anyone can give a plant, whether it be a rose, hibiscus, orchid or
even
a dandelion, a clonal name. The plant does not have to be awarded or
recognized by any society or group. "

Is it a normal practice to give the species a clonal name, such as
Trichoglottis triflora 'quixote'?
