Hi,

I was picking some of the clover i have grown for my torts and was amazed to find
one with four leaves on it, i have never seen one of these before and have herd its very
rare to find as well as very lucky!!

I havent seen a four leaf clover for years. When I was a kid there was an area of land behind my mums that had loads of clover and one patch always had 4 leaved ones. But yep they are supposed to be rare. Maybe you will win the lottery tonight.

lucky you

as kids we spent hours and hours trying to find one

when we failed we glued an extra leaf on with flour & water paste

Hi,

Yeah as kids dad would send us out to look, after a while we began to think there was no such thing and just wanted a bit of peace!!

I'm not sure of the best way to protect it from wilting, if anyone has any ideas would be grateful!!

press it between newpaper and something heavy for a few days to dry it out

then you could laminate it

Hi Molbags,

What a lucky find, thanks for sharing I have never seen a 4 leaf clover.

Make sure you do the lottery tonight, you never know luck might strike twice today for you.
