Hey, it’s a big deal to me. I used to find these suckers all the time when I was younger, so it’s a nostalgia trip. Saw in the backyard near a ditch. It’s pretty big for a clover, too.

Very mundane and pointless, but it made my day.

Heres one for you I once found a five leaf clover. Really I did. I tried to save it but did it wrong and now its a dried up little husk.

That is so cool! I was tempted to look for one in the field I was in today, but I didn’t have time. I haven’t found one in years (not that I’ve looked).

SO are you keeping it? Press it in a book or something!

I used to live in a state park. Lots of clover fields. Wasted lots of time there and several times found 5-leafers, a couple of 6-leafers, and one glorious 7-leafer. 🙂 None of them were as beautiful as a well-formed 4-leafer though.

I’m definetly going to press it. And I’ve never seen anything over a four leafer.

I got some bulbs that produce nothing but 4 leaf clovers. Amazing little plants.
