Genus: Protea

I would definately frame this one..

aww so cute, boxers are very energetic

Hi TT
Harvey has occasionally been guilty of non sporting behaviour towards smaller dogs who growl at him-he tends to sit on them! However we are working hard
to channel his aggression into running after rooks and crows-he seems nonplussed by not being able to fly though-back to the drawing board!

Boxers are in the Kennel Club WORKING Group, which augurs well for a good performance on the slopes.

However Boxers also come under the category of NON-SPORTING, so I guess we'll need to watch for any illegal moves.

Arlene, have you noticed any behaviour from these two which might result in disqualification?

Please let us know, and we'll have a think about how we can make excuses for such naughtiness.

Nice plant. Lovely sutle colours.

Fantastic as u say Tasteyg :D

Thanks for the link, Andrew.
Cheers.

Proteas will only take a few, if any, degrees of frost. I'm in southern UK and trying protea cynaroides (generally considered to be the easiest one to try) but growing it in a pot and overwintering it indoors. In general, proteas need very free draining, acid growing medium, low in phosphates and rainwater (not tap water).
A useful website is www.trevenacross.co.uk which will tell you what we can try over here and what it can tolerate.
