That 56-leaf clover picture is a fake. I can tell just looking at it- it just looks like they're holding a bunch of clovers in their hand. The above picture, however, is real.

I found an 8-leaf, 2 7-leaf, 3 6-leaf, a few 5-leaf, and about 10 4-leaf clovers today! All growing in the same area.
That's hw I found this page; I was checking the web to see if I had a world record on my hands. Sadly not. By a LONG way!

I found a 5-leaf clover over last summer when I went to yellowstone, but unlike fry who kept his in the record sleeve I keep mine in the back of my phone.

"Last month, a family member claimed to have found a 27-leaf clover, but the discovery was not confirmed."

Not confirmed because that family member ate the 27-leaf clover.

Dang! Not only is it a multi-leaf clover, it has prime factors of three and seven, the luckiest numbers.

Shigeo Obara should, if anything, live in fear of the millions of pounds of winning lottery tickets soon to fall from the sky.

I don't think they cross bred it other plants. They found clovers with mutations and cross bred it with other clovers with extra leaves.

If I remember biology, extra leaves in a clover is a recessive trait. Dominant traits such as normal leaves well affect the plant more than the extra leaves trait. If you breed two plants with extra leaves, the trait stays with the offspring so it also has extra leaves. Keep doing this, and eventually you will get a plant with a lot of leaves.

i guess it counts if you cross-breed.. does it? is it really considered a true clover if it has other plant genes mixed with it?
