most tropical areas do have streams running thru them, could this not become a useful way to water the area. At our rainforest here they have working streams to privide life for animals and plants.

Yes, but that is a working research greenhouse - in what is supposed to be a controlled environment. It does not need to be "prettied up"

You would not expect to see lava lamps in an Operating Room either.

I can't see the research purpose this brings. Sure, there are certain plants that will only grow in flowing water under certain conditions - watercress and wasabi (real wasabi) spring to mind.

However from a research standpoint you would create a flume with easily configurable depth and flow rates. Not somthing that looks like it was taken out of someones backyard.

It does look very nice and all, but I though the greenhouse was just fine before. It is what it is, a research facility - and quite a nice one at that. I have been in some greenhouses that are nowhere near as nice as the EPCOT one.

At least someone understood what I was getting at.

I agree it looks great, but that it isn't necessary considering the purpose of this area. I always enjoy when you are on LWTL and you see cast members working on the various plants - it reminds you that this isn't just a show or ride but a working greenhouse. This fountain just seems to negate all of that.

My thoughts exactly. I can see such a thing in my neighbor's backyard. Let's keep it a research facility, not a Garden Ridge. :p
