Well the stick says it all, you've got a Blc. Williette Wong 'The Best' AM/AOS.
The "I" aren't "I" they're "/" This plant is probably a clone of an award-winner. AM/AOS would mean the plant was awarded an Award of Merit by the American Orchid Socitey. An Award of Merit (AM) is for flower quality and means it received a score of 80-89 points out of 100. When a flower wins an award like this it is given what we call a cultivar name, in this case 'The Best'

The Honolulu Orchid Society gives out its own awards and CR/HOS indicates this plant has received an award form the Honolulu Orchid Society, but I do not know what CR standa for.
