A couple of my "lucky clovers" (Photo by Me)
      I tend to associate Ireland with potatoes (like I said yesterday), tap dancing (thanks to Michael Flatley) and lucky four leaf clovers. I used to consider myself very fortunate because, it was almost always easy for me to find beds of four leaf clovers (the picture above is from one of that I found in Alfenas in 2012) and I always picked a lot of them to dry out and give as a present to family and friends.
     So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that they may not actually be lucky clovers. There is another plant, very similar to the original clover (which has three leafs - the fourth one only appears when there is a mistake in the cell division) and this "generic" clover's leaf is always divided in four parts. Beds of four leaf clovers are very rare, not to say probably nonexistent. So, my proud "lucky clovers" may not be as special as I thought they were. Nonetheless, I'm still very fond of them.
