Hey All,

Jan and I have been working to make the whole cultivar registration
process a little more clear.

There are two steps to the process. The first is in having your cultivar
or cultivar-group description published in a widely circulated journal.
The second is in registering your cultivar or cultivar group.

Obviously, the zeroeth step is in developing a good plant!

At the ICPS Website (http://www.carnivorousplants.org) we have set up an
area where you can download the Cultivar Registration Form, and an example
of a completed form.

You can also learn a little more about what a cultivar is, what a
cultivar-group is, etc. Developing these forms with Jan has been a
definite learning experience for me!

I think this is a major step forward in making it easier for growers to
validate their bogus-named pseudo-cultivars. It is no longer a mystery of
what must go into a cultivar description, what's a nominant, registrant,
etc etc. It's all there for you!

Cheers!

Barry
