Default Clover

Never found a 4 leafed clover in my life, but today while hunting for tortoise food, I found 2 5 leafed clovers!!

Merlin, do you know how lucky that is (not that i am supersticious) but you will be very lucky. I have never seen a 4 leaf one let alone a 5 leaf one x

Hi Merlin, you could look online, there may be someone researching these. Two years ago I found some 9-petaled buttercups and when I googled it, found someone at Aberystwyth Uni doing research on them and they were grateful for the info I gave them, such as the habitat I found them in, whether it was farmed, region of the UK etc.

I've never found a four leaf clover either. Nice find Merlin! Hope they bring you lots of luck in abundance.

Well just back from the vets picking up some new medication for my dog Buzz (she was the first one in the practice to use it) and they charged me half the price...

Time to buy that lottery ticket!!

Aug 12 2011 by Stuart Wilson, Ayrshire Post (main ed)
A SCHOOLGIRL who found a rare five-leaf clover says that she is ready to cash in on her luck. Georgia Allen made the discovery near her grandmother’s back garden in Coylton. Ayrshire horticultural expert, James Crichton, confirmed that the discovery of a five-leaf clover is extremely rare.
He said: “Four-leaf clovers are rare enough – that’s why there is a famous song about them. “So to find a five-leaf clover is something fairly special.”

Merlin, best spend two quid and buy a Euromillions card for Friday's draw, though it's only a measly €80,000,000
