They are tiny things in containers, easily ruined by a ground cover, and are not entire sections of outdoor landscape like a rock garden. They may or may not contain rocks. Within the genré are fairy gardens, though I dislike fairies.

Alpine plants tend to croak in 100+-deg. temps, and are generally not crazy about 99% humidity.

I can appreciate this difference, but the problem is that the people submitting data proposals for alpine plants in the future will automatically declare them also suitable for mini-gardens, regardless of their ability or inability to withstand 100+-degree heat and 99% humidity.

This probably can be handled best by listing the suitable plants in the appropriate forum threads.
