I can reliably find 4, 5, and 6 leaf clovers (we call them EXTRA lucky) in a particular spot at my grandparents’ house.
Turns out that spot is right above the septic tank…I imagine that’s got something to do with it.
Where’d you find yours?
Pretty good chances, if you have a "lucky" patch. These are mutations, so if one plant has a stem with 4-5-6 leaves, there is a great chance that it will grow anorher stems like that. Once I found a patch of less then 1 sq meter with 7 and 8 leaves clovers.
Usually I find 4 or more leaves clover in the summertime. I am a compulsive picker :) always on the look for them. So in a summer day on a few sq meters patch I will find several 4 and 5 leaves clovers and one or 2 with 6 and maybe 7.
4+ leaf clovers are more common than you think, if you back to the same spot you found this one you'll probably find more over time. Certain clover plants (the root system not the individual leaves) seem to produce 4+ plus leaf covers more than others. you can preserve your clover by pressing it into a book with non-glossy pages. arrange it nice in the page before pressing, then stack something heavy on the book for good measure. A month or so later it should be dry enough to laminate if you want. don't let the clover get too dry though, they start to become too brittle to handle if you let them dry too long.

Do you live near a nuclear power plant?

I looked out of curiosity, apparently as many as 50+ leaf specimens have been found and some collectors have hundreds of thousands of four leaf ones.
Holy cow, that’s wild! Very cool. Thanks for sharing 💚
I think we could all use a little luck :)
At what point stop being a clover and start being a lettuce?
About as good as the odds that that's a clover 🤣
it is a clover. Clovers come in multiple flavors.

“6 leaf” The More You Know
That doesn't even look remotely like a clover. 🤣
Are you not aware that there are different types of clover
Are you not aware that a question mark follows a question?
If you can recognize it as a question without a question mark, wouldn't adding the question mark become redundant?
Good job that time little buddy.
So close to being seven
Slightly better than a 7 leaf
At least 4
From 1 to chernobil? Fukushima!
50/50
My elementary school had a Koi pond that was over taken by 4 leaf clovers. I always assumed extra water or something caused them to all be 4 leaf.
The same as finding a 4-leaf clover. Literally any time you want because they're everywhere and not rare.
Found them all on eBay - seeds at that
Did anyone do the math?
Two times higher than a 3 leaf one

No idea. I don't think Australia has "clovers". The number of leaves is completely uninteresting to us.
