Are there such things as Four-Leaved Clovers?

Question

And have you ever seen one?

Answer 1

yes and yes

they're just hard to find because it is estimated that there are 10,000 three leafed clovers for every four leafed one.

Answer 2

I have found that the best way to find 4-leaf-clover is one of the following or a combination:
1. Go fishing at a place where clover grows to the water's edge. While waiting for the bobber to bob, start combing the clover.
--
2. Take a blanket, radio, ice chest of beer and go find a clover patch.
--
3. With 1 or 2 above, take a partner.
---
4. Combine 1 & 2.
---
I found that in number 1, I found the most 4-leafers.
I found that in number 2, the finding of 4-leaf items found decreased in porportion to the number of beers consumed. In an other way of saying that, the fewer beers left resulted in fewer 4-leafers found. Strange that works that-a-way.
I found that in number 3, the least 4-leafers were found. One exception to that is reversing number 2 where AFTER a few beers one decides to look for 4-leafers. Lots of time I couldn't even find the radio, blanket, and even more disturbing, couldn't even get into the clover :-)

Answer 3

NO: There are no such things as a Four-Leaved Clover.

YES: There are Four-Leaf Clovers. I have, in fact, found them myself from time to time. In fact, there's a site on the net (www.fourleafclover.com) that sells them and also tells how to "properly identify" a four-leaf clover. (Makes the instructions on a tooth-pick box look necessary, eh?)

Answer 4

Yes, there is a such thing as a four-leaf-clover. I have seen two of them (that I can remember) when I was kid (I remember that because I truly believed that they would bring me good luck and that I could misbehave and my parents wouldn't discipline me)

Answer 5

Yes. But first, what do you think a clover is?

Most people, when they say "four-leaved clover," actually think of shamrocks, or the genus oxalis. Oxalis is not an actual clover.
Trifolium is clover; it has a whitish ring through its leaflets, and tastes of nothing. Oxalis has heart-shaped leaflets and tastes of lemon.

Both trifolium and oxalis generally produce leaves of three leaflets, but four can sometimes occur. Mutations can be wonderful, sometimes.

Answer 6

I personally haven't seen one, but I've heard stories about people finding them. They're obviously pretty rare, and considered lucky for this reason. I'm not sure on this, but my best guess is that it has something to do with genetics, and that the four-leaf trait is a recessive one that doesn't get expressed all that often.

Answer 7

Yes. The plant is commonly called a shamrock. More appropriately however it is Trifolium Repens. The plant is most commonly seen with three leaves, but on a rare occasion, a mutant four leaf shamrock will sprout.

Answer 8

yes, i lived in indiana and we had lots of clover in the yard and my daughter had quite a talent for finding lots of 4 leaved ones and even sometimes 5 leaved ones. its just a genetic mistake.

Answer 9

they are some i have found some but never one in redclover and very few n green clover

Answer 10

throughout my life so far I've found several also five and even six leaf clovers
