I want to add that since the four leaves are genetic mutations, where you find one, you’re more likely to find more in that area. However those plants will continue to grow four leafed clovers THROUGHOUT the growing season. In other words, you can return to the same spot a week or two later and pick more four leafed clovers. My favorite clover legend is that every-time a four leafed clover gets gifted, it doubles in luck.
I was at an outdoor wedding sitting in my seat eating for it to start. Then I looked down and saw a for leaf clover! Then I picked it up and looked down again and saw another one! They were both in the exact place I was sitting. I gave one to the Bride and the other to the Groom.
I have found over 40 four leaf clovers in a year and 3 five leaf clovers. I started pressing them and saving them in a book. I tell everyone I never find them if actively βllookingβ but almost always find them when walking briskly with the dog and scanning quickly as you correctly laid out with mammogram analogy. Itβs like my brain just immediately spots the βoutlierβ pattern. Now I just tell people itβs my super power.
I have read other papers on this topic that claim far more 4 leafers per square foot, something like 7 to 8. Ever since reading that I always take a peak at a healthy white clover patch. Other than the kick ass bees that you can find, I get at least one four leaflet every time within 5 mins. I do agree a general scan is the best way. Did not know you could get higher leaflet counts. It’s on now.
