The clinical picture of shock liver is so characteristic and resolves so rapidly that there should be no confusion with other causes of marked elevations of transaminase levels.

Re: Does the sunflower have a distinct smell to it? Apparently, modern western sunflowers have no smell, so these are probably the ones you saw at the florist. However, a few months ago, I saw a different breed of smaller sunflowers that were quite fragrant. The smell wasn't floral, but reminded me of honey, so these are probably the ones used in perfumery.
I even had hubby come over and smell it. When they are pink in the height of summer they don't have much of a smell to them. I just love the smell of real roses...only second to the smell of lilacs, my very favorite! I have roses at my front garden and they bloom all year long, lucky me.
