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'?

Why do you cross post your messages to the pictures group? They don't
really belong there, and most of the same people read this group.

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.

Questions like this should be posted to RGO not the ABPO which is
for the display of photos. Just as photos should not be posted
to RGO.

If you grew 25 plants all of the same species or hybrid, you
would need a way to keep the individual plants identified. You
might want to label them because these 4 bloomed in one year and
the other 20 did not. Thus you name, number or otherwise
identify the individuals in the group.

You also might create an ID for a plant because you split it when
you repotted it. You now have 3 pieces of this hybrid and
another clone of the same cross that is NOT from the original
plant. This becomes a recognized part of the name.

If you had it for personal reasons when you grew the group and
remove the ID's before you sell/gift the plants they will never
be recognized as clonal name. But if you leave the designation
on when disposing of the plant you have given that plant a clonal
name.
