I used to lay on my stomach for hours when I was a kid hoping to find my four leaf clover, but alas, I found nothing. But with or without I've always felt lucky.

Irish mith.Shamrock, the traditional Irish symbol coined by Saint Patrick for the Holy Trinity, is commonly associated with clover, though also sometimes with Oxalis species, which also have trifoliate leaves.

Clovers occasionally have leaves with four leaflets, instead of the usual three. These four-leaf clovers, like other rarities, are considered lucky.

A common idiom is "to be in clover", meaning to be living a carefree life of ease, comfort, or prosperity.

The cloverleaf interchange is named for the resemblance to the leaves of a (four-leafed) clover when viewed from the air.

Yes, and it was the fact that it was rare that caused ancients to begin the legend of the "lucky four-leaved clover." The odds are right, in the other answer. But many have been found, Google Image search it at www.image.google.com. I'm sure you will find many good pictures.

All the time! In fact, If I come across a clover patch, I can almost always find one, they're not that uncommon. I've also found 5, 6, 7 and 8 leaf clovers....but they're more rare.

As novel as it is to find them, they haven't done a thing for my luck. ;)

I have found many four leaf clovers, also five leaf, six leaf & seven leaf clovers...There was a large clover patch near my bus stop when I was in school & that is what I would do while I waited for the bus as a child.

yes, I used to find them all the time.
My siblings and I used to kneel in the grass for hours, looking for them. Whoever had the most, would win.
We also found 5-leaf clovers once in a while.

That was when I was young, growing up in Germany.

I have since moved to the States and for some reason, I have had a MUCH harder time finding them here.

The trick to finding multiple ones is easy: Once you have found one (which is the hard part), you just keep looking in the same area. It means that the root is mutated and there will me more coming out of that root.

Good luck!
(no pun intended)

Yes, I have found a few four-leaf clovers before. They are pretty hard to find. Good luck.

Yes and 4 leaf clover is more common than was thought years ago.

I have, plenty of them... Just go out on a picnic, on a lovely evening. Look for a grassy patch of lawn with a nice bed of clovers and lazily pick around... You'll be surprise by how many you can find! They are not that uncommon, despite the belief.
And no, it never gave me good luck; just green grass stains on my jeans which weren't easy to wash off ;-)
