So, you've looked into your new neighbor's home and admired their new archways, wooden doors, spacious patio and clear glass windows.

A botanical garden is a place in which plants are grown and displayed primarily for scientific and educational purposes. A botanical garden consists chiefly of a collection of living plants, grown out-of-doors or under glass in greenhouses and conservatories. It usually includes, in addition, a collection of dried plants, or herbarium, and such facilities as lecture rooms, laboratories, libraries, museums, and experimental or research plantings. Concrete fountains and wall water fountains are often included in the display of botanical gardens.The plants in a botanical garden may be arranged according to one or more subdivisions of botanical science. The arrangements may be systematic (by plant classification), ecological (by relation to environment), or geographic (by region of origin). The larger botanical gardens often include special groupings, such as rock gardens, water gardens, wildflower gardens, and collections of horticultural groups produced by plant breeding, such as roses, tulips, or rhododendrons. A plantation restricted to exhibits of woody plants is called an arboretum. Most botanical gardens will incorporate water features such as water wall fountains.

The agent for guard Ramon Sessions says his client is "ecstatic'' about going to Cleveland. Chubby Wells said he got a call Monday night from Minnesota president David Kahn confirming his client is heading to Minnesota. Sessions goes from the Timberwolves with center Ryan Hollins and a 2013 second-round pick to the Cavaliers for guards Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair. The News-Herald of suburban Cleveland had first reported trade specifics. "I talked to Ramon and he's ecstatic,'' Wells said in an interview with FanHouse. "He's really, really excited about going to what he thinks is a good situation.'' Minnesota, which signed Sessions to a four-year, million contract last summer as a free agent, was not a particularly good one for Sessions, a combo guard. He wasn't able to play effectively alongside point guard Jonny Flynn, and averaged 8.2 points and 3.1 assists over 21.1 minutes. "I don't want to say anything bad about them,'' Wells said of the Timberwolves. "But it just wasn't a good fit. I'm happy they were able to move Ramon.'' The Timberwolves are expected to waive West, whose .6 million contract has just 0,000 of it guaranteed if he's let go by Aug. [more..]

Reality star/convicted celebrity burglar Alexis Neiers was freed from jail on Friday -- and she's already back on Twitter. "I was just released from central regional detention facility!," Alexis, who tweets under the name Alexis Arlington, wrote on Friday. "I feel so blessed to be free and at home with my family!! A good nights sleep! I love all of my fans and supporters I will tweet more tomorrow! XO" Alexis's mother Andrea Arlington had been keeping Alexis's page updated while she was incarcerated. On Wednesday, Andrea posted, "Alexis has been very patient but it is hard. She's hungry, tired, and she just wants to go home.
