That's a hard one... if you have a picture of the underside (the gills or eves), that would help, also a spore print would be useful... Does it bruise (change color when pressed or scratched? These kind of mushrooms are commonly known as LBMs or Little Brown Mushrooms, which are some of the hardest to identify.

Is there a way to get a close-up of the flower? It looks like a mint from here... if the stem is square, and when you rub the leaves, it has a scent, it's a mint. Not sure which one..

Goat Heads can be a very difficult problem...and there is no sure way to get rid
of them. They can be sprayed with chemicals, but this also kills any other
vegetation in the area. Some people have tried introducing goat head weevils,
which infect the seedpods and weaken them... This is not a sure treatment, and
is usually only one part of a larger strategy.

Domestic grasses are also
very hardy, and can often out-compete goat heads over time...you may try sowing
the areas with large amounts of strong domestic grass seeds. This strategy
certainly takes a number of seasons to be effective, but it may be your only
practical solution, given the large amount of area you are trying to control.
Perhaps the introduction of goat head weevils combined with liberal sowing of
grass seeds, may over time be able to subdue the goat heads. You may need to
implement these solutions regularly over the seasons before they are really able
to break the goat head's cycle of reproduction.

Here are a few links that
you may want to take a look
at:

Vincent, I actually do not know where you can get pictures of the snail farming
process. However you should take a look at this site which has information about
raising snails as well as a variety of links on the
subject.

http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/AFSIC_pubs/srb96-05.htm

I
hear that Ghana has been doing great with snail farming.

"...Snail
farming in Ghana has become such a lucrative business that agricultural experts
are offering professional advice to prospective farmers to enable them to
harvest more yield for the local and international market."
(http://www.modernghana.com/news/63556/1/ghana-making-millions-from-snail-farmin
g-.html)
You could also learn it on line and visit a snail farm in order to
visualize the process and even get some questions answered.
Good Luck!

It should be very ready to start flowering soon, within the next year or so. It needs to experience a dormant (Winter) period before it will flower. They also might not flower if recently pruned or otherwise shocked. Also, as you probably know, these trees cannot get too wet or endure any frost.

I guess it might take a little while to know if it's diseased, or just a little shocked. You will want to remove as much of the dead material as you can without destroying any of the healthy areas. If it doesn't look salvageable, the store that you bought it from might take it back.

I could be how you are watering. Ficus trees don't like to dry out and then get a heavy watering. They prefer moist soil but will adapt to drier conditions, but need consistency.

In nature, ficus trees know two seasons - wet and dry. When you let it dry out, it begins to drop leaves to prepare for the dry season. Then you water, it begins to regrow. Keeping the soil moisture consistent will allow the ficus to settle down a stop dropping leaves.

Hi cpelavin
The flower on your profile, is an Echinacea, which is a genus (sub-family) of the Asters.. There are about 9-10 different species in the genus.
you can upload images by clicking the "Add Image" icon in the middle of the top of the site.
You can add a page for each plant, that way you can keep track of all them and learn their relations to other plants etc...
Thanks!
