2019 6.2.11.14 The Milton Carpenter Award
The Milton Carpenter Oncidiinae Award is given to the grower of the orchid plant, regarded the most outstanding example of intergeneric hybridizing within the Oncidiinae alliance, excluding Trichocentrum, Tolumnia, Cyrtochilum and Psychopsis, awarded during the previous calendar year. A plant may be simultaneously eligible for the Carpenter and Dugger awards; however, the plant may not win more than one of these Awards. The Award was established in 2005 and endowed by donations to honor Mr. Milton Carpenter, commercial grower, hybridizer, past president of the AOS, and one of the truly great ambassadors for the hobby.
No Awards are eligible for this annual award
