I think my odds are backwards. No they are just pain white clover (the blooms are white). A lot of our clover has the white streak through the leaf, but not all of it. Some have solid colored leaves and I find just as many in those. I saw 4 in the yard today on the way to the barn.

Amazing indeed. I have never found a 4 leaf one, yet my Mom while alive, used to find them regularly. During a family reunion ( over 20 people ) we all tried to find some and no one did ( except her, of course).

I have found them with 4 leaves, 5, 6, and 7. No 8 leaf clovers yet. I don't bother to pick them and save them unless they have 5, 6 or 7. I have only found ONE 6 leaf clover, but many 5 and 7 leaf ones.
From me to you, the best of luck!

I guess I've found thousands over the years and just as you mentioned above........once, I found a patch that had, literally, hundreds of them..........didn't change my "luck", though.....and like "Turbo", my Mom could find them, too!.... :mrgreen:

Don't worry everyone, I'm sure that you can spray for them, I know that some spray will work on blackberry s and even poison ivy.

That is strange. This site says finding one, the odds are 10,000 to 1. Better grab a sack or head to the lottery ticket store.

This is what I've always called the "Shamrock".....definitely different from the "clover"........ :mrgreen:

I'm so glad you posted this ! I thought I was the only "odd-ball" that could spot a 4 leaf clover with just a glance. I have Marked area were they were so my Grandkids could find them ...but nope.
I love to give them to people, you might think you gave them a rare gem. Nice meeting you.....

Hi Horseart, Had a chance to photograph an Equestrian event in West Palm Beach, FL. I've attached a couple for you to see.

My former mother-in-law has many 4-leaf clovers next to her driveway. Too many to count.

Yep...me too. Maybe I just don't know they come bigger than 4 leaf. I'll just keep my eyes open here and there when I am out and about again.
