Four Leaf Clovers
I always was lucky finding four leaf clovers. I have probably found thousands over my life so far. Just a week or so before my sixtieth birthday I actually found a five leaf clover and a couple weeks ago I found a second. It took me 61 years plus to find two five leaf clovers.
Shigeo Obara in Japan found a clover with the most leafs. It had 56 leafs.
My eleven year old granddaughter has the same knack as me with finding four leaf clovers. She has found hundreds in her eleven years. She has already found two five leaf clovers in eleven years that took me sixty-one years.
delightful . . and being showered by the memoryes . . of somebody’s grandpa. . . granddaughter lived in her house and her cousin was getting married there. . out of the blue, she found a four leaf clover on the floor of the bedroom she was getting dressed in. . later we all when nuts telling nutty storyes. .
and two gents who’d been looking for twenty years for the elusive Luna Moth. twenty years later, we found one sitting on the kitchen window the whole afternoon, they were moving in their new house.
tell me is it a case of knowing where there is a plant which producess a lot of them? ? ? I just haven’t looked for them . . must say that when I was 61 and exactly 3 quarters of a year, short of my 62nd. read on the net on the day it was. . ah, now wish bore you. . nature’s timing is simply astronomical
Finding a four leaf clover was something that I had on my bucket list for years and luckily over the past two years I have found several. (Okay, not as many as you, but I don’t have that many opportunities for laying in the grass…..or heck even HAVING grass….in my area 😆 ) My first was found in a clover plant I bought on St. Patrick’s Day 2 years ago. When I got it home I was just admiring it when I spied a single four leaf clover amongst the rest of the three leaf ones. And if you find a 4 leaf clover on St. Patrick’s Day, you will have good luck the rest of the year….just saying 8)
. After that I found several during different visits to our local recreation area. I keep them all pressed in an old phone book I have and one day, I figure out something special to do with them all.
Thanks for posting this John. I really enjoyed it. 😀

i only found one in my life so far…mainly because I never bother looking anymore. Mine did’t do me any good….my dog got ran over and my parents got divorce. It must be because I’m irish!
Yep…instead Friday 13th and such are my goodluck . I JUST DON”T KNOW WHY BUT I AM BACKWARDS!! 😉
When I was a kid I used to spend hours in the grass at my Grandmother’s house looking through the patches of clover. When we went to the park I would spend the entire time looking through the clover. If we went on a picnic, everybody knew where to find me. All because my Grandmother had a key chain that had a huge four leaf clover in it that she had found in her yard one day while she was walking across the yard to visit the neighbor. After two summers, and all that wasted time, I gave up looking through the clover. Now I just stop and smell roses every once in a while.
hmmm ever crossed my mind to look for such..But then again I was taught to walk straight with chin up and look str8 ahead..If you step in dog poo means you’ll have good luck. (LOL!)
I spent one day, when I was very young, looking through the clover for a 4 leaf one. Never did find even one. So, I bent over and ate the clover. :0
That tasted so good, I spent several more months crawling around eating clover. Yes, that’s right. I GRAZED.
Now, I restrict myself to clover honey. 😛
Boy does my youngest son though have a knack for finding 4 leaf clovers! Just a couple of weeks ago he pointed out several to me. I still couldn’t see them, but I took his word for it…lol.
I too remember tasting the clover blossoms… 😉
It’s been a long time since i lived where clover will grow. :groovy:
I seem to look over the four leaf clovers, which I’m sure I’ve overlooked before.
