Four Leaf Clover

[wizzo]

Many years ago as a young boy, I found a place where there was a large patch of Clover. There were literally hundreds of four, five and six leaf Clovers. I can remember selling them at school (never being one to miss a money making opportunity!). I have spoken to friends since, just to make sure I wasn't dreaming, and they also remember this Clover patch. I even went back to the place recently to see if they might still be there, but sadly, they had gone. Has anyone ever heard of this before? Maybe it's not uncommon? Or could there be a reason, that this area produced such a large number, of what I always thought was a rare thing. Wizzo

Could be a good source of nitrogen in the ground at the time.

Thanks Artdemole. I wonder if I could re-create that? Wizzo

Wizzo, you have just jogged my memory!

I found a few FL Clovers on our lawn when I was a kid and I put one in a flower press for safe keeping.
The press is - if I remember rightly - up the loft in a box full of old treasures!

I'd completely forgotten about it!

That's it then, the ladders are coming out today!

Town fields in Doncaster always yields many 4 leaf clover and I, and my ex-partner, once got close to 60, in 15 or so minutes.

I have a couple of four leafed clovers, I found a patch near where I was camping in Derbyshire. I put them between two thin glass plates that came with a photographic enlarger. they have shrivelled a bit but I still have them.
