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.
The Plumeria flower fragrances can be described as the fragrance of the sweetest smelling rose. The fragrance is so powerful you can smell it almost from anywhere in the garden on a warm balmy evening. The flower is a tropical soapy soft smell. Smells like Hawaii to me.
