I know a few people in the BACPS have done this. I believe they tend to fill little pockets in the wood/rock with soil for the Ping to grow in. Typically the plant will grow larger then the pocket so it looks like it's growing right on the wood/rock. Check the Ping table at the next BACPS show in Oakland and you should see one or two. It's visually very pretty!
Thanks G. I'm trying it just that way as kind of an experiment in a terrarium setting. If it works it's going to be really beautiful. & I'm fairly confident it will work. Pings will grow just about anywhere & I've had really good luck with them. You may see it at the BACPS show in June ;-) cheers

P. hemiepipythica is in the habit of growing on mossy tree bark (of living trees!). I guess I would have to qualify my answer with "depends on the species".
Brokken: that pick is sweet! I wounder how far up the tree they are. It looks to be quite high.
I vividly remember accidently drinking a fly that had landed in my soda on my 8th birthday! In a lot of countries eating bugs is an everyday thing. The are very high in protien.
I grew some of my P.grandiflora on a big chunk of lava rock and plan on doing it with P.gypsicolas this year.The grandiflora did great and I hope they make it thru the winter in my new greenhouse.
