Dendrobium farmeri 'Orchid Country', AM/AOS, CCE/AOS (one of the first CCE/AOS awards)

The plant received an AM award of 85 points and a CCE of 91 points. The CCE is a new award given to a grower that AOS feels should be awarded higher than the existing Cultural Merit (CCM, still given for scores up to 89 points) so now they an additional award CCE, Certificate of Cultural Excellence, for plants scoring 90+. This was the first CCE that the Atlanta judging has ever given. It had 954 flowers and 51 buds on 57 inflorescence and in a 10" pot. The milk crate helps to show the size of the plant.

This plant was raised by Mickey Connell.
