Well said, Brian! I will use this to explain better to visitors to the E.H.
Lohbrunner Alpine Garden in Vancouver, BC.
While it’s essentially at sea level, the scale of the garden allows many large
plants to be grown, including those which
look good in association with its large rocks!

I quote, from an AGS publication.
Definitions “Alpine or rock garden plant”: The term covers all plants,
including shrubs, suitable for
cultivation in a rock garden of moderate size or in an unheated frame or alpine
house. It excludes any plants
which will not survive an average British winter under such conditions but
includes many plants which
do not necessarily grow in mountainous regions.
Many alpines grow at sea level, Dryas octopetala for instance in Scotland,
and several orchids in alpine meadows and woodlands in europe.

Why orchids? They are NOT alpines! Let the orchid fanciers worship elsewhere.
