Have you ever found a four-leaf clover?

Asked by aviona (3260points) March 17th, 2009

I used to take the three-leaved ones and rip one of the leaves in half and try to trick people when I was younger. But has anyone actually found a real four-leaf clover? Seeing as it’s St. Patrick’s Day, I thought it was an appropriate question.

Tell us about the experience. Do you feel it affected your luck in any way? Where do you keep it now?

I found a clump near where I used to work – we picked thirty or forty out of that area. I pressed them and then laminated them and gave them away as gifts.

Several times. I’ve found a few with even more leaves than that.

I used to find four leafs all the time. And like @AstroChuck I have found a few with more than four leaves (usually five). It just takes patience to find them :)

In my back yard growing up we had large patches of clover all over the place. My brother and I would go out every year and see who could find the most 4 leaf clovers. We would usually find some with 5, I don’t think ever 6. We would always tear the 5th one off because we thought it was bad luck, plus they wouldn’t count in our competition.

Back in 2nd grade I found one with 7. My friends and I pulled them out of this one clump around a sprinkler. I think it was over-sprayed with rat poison….

Yes I have. I found one a particularly down time in my existence and I still have it.

They grew in my backyard when I was very small. Sometimes I ate them.

Yep. :)
I used to eat them. They taste citrusy.

No, and why on earth would a mutant clover leaf be lucky, anyway?
