Question on lithophytes and lime

[dbvogt]

Thanks for the list - the Sheehan & Black book does not mention species names. Has anyone tried growing any orchid in/on rock and is there a retail source for lithophyte orchids?

db - I can't think of a vendor who sells only lithophytes. There are many growers, myself included, who use various stone products to grow some of our plants both lithophytes and epiphytes. Just curious, what's the fascination with lithophytes?
