thefreedictionary.com - Lucky Clover

Erika P. (Brazil)
The four-leaf clover is a rare mutation of the common three-leaf clover. There are an estimated 10,000 three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf clover. Believed to be an omen of good luck, the four-leaf clover's leaves represent faith, hope, love, and luck. It is not the only famous type of clover, however. The five-leaf clover is actually said to be luckier, while the three-leaf clover is Ireland's emblem, also known as a shamrock. What is the greatest number of leaves ever found on one clover?
