Answer 2

When I first moved here, I was delighted that I spotted a four leaf clover in a patch of 3 leafed ones. That day, I found 3 more and sent them to the close friends I had left behind. Didn't find more for a number of years. Suddenly they were all over the place; outnumbered the 3-leaf ones. So now, when I find one with 3 leaves, I consider that lucky!

Facts About Four-leaf Clovers
Are these "real" Four-leaf Clovers?

Yes, our four-leaf clovers are hand-picked from the White Clover plant, trifolium repens, considered to be the Original Shamrock. We have been growing genuine shamrocks and four-leaf clovers since 1939. You may find others selling leaves as four-leaf clovers that are not genuine. These are actually Pepperwort or Water Clover (Marsilea Quadrifolia) or Oxalis (Oxalis deppei or Oxalis tetraphylla) plants that produce all four leaves. Another way of identifying a real four-leaf clover is that the fourth leaf is usually smaller than the other three leaves.

What do the leaves symbolize? See Four-leaf Clover Poem

One leaf is for FAITH... The second for HOPE...

The third for LOVE... And the fourth for LUCK!

In Irish tradition the Shamrock or Three-leaf Clover represents the Holy Trinity: one leaf for the Father, one for the Son and one for the Holy Spirit. When a Shamrock is found with the fourth leaf, it represents God's Grace.

History of the four leaf clover:

The four leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck with its origin ages old. According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover from the Garden of Eden.

"The clovers also occupied a position in the cultural life of early peoples. White clover (T. repens L.) in particular was held in high esteem by the early Celts of Wales as a charm against evil spirits." Clover Science and Technology". N.L. Taylor, 1985.

Druids held the 4 leaf clover in high esteem and considered them a sign of luck. In 1620, Sir John Melton wrote: "If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.

The mystique of the four leaf clover continues today, since finding a real four leaf clover is still a rare occurrence and omen of good luck.
