Sure can add attributes:

enum e
{
    [Description("10:30 a.m.")]
    AM1030,    

    [Description("10:31 a.m.")]
    AM1031,

    [Description("10:32 a.m.")]
    AM1032,
}


    var type = e.GetType();
    var memInfo = type.GetMember(e.AM1030.ToString());
    var attributes = memInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
    var description = ((DescriptionAttribute)attributes[0]).Description;
