A Fact of Life

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?

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.

"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.

So there are 4+ leaved clovers! I wonder how lucky they are...

My two cents would be: RADIOACTIVE SOIL

for safe keeping, Fry recommends the Breakfast Club soundtrack

So... does this mean it is extra EXTRA lucky??

Okay, but seriously now, what the hell goes on in Japan?

Must be grown in whatever Godzilla eats.

how polluted could the ground be.

p.s i would like to see more pictures.

I found a 4 leaf clover and got 8 days of luck so far... this guy on the other hand shoud enter the lottery

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.

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!

BREAKING NEWS!!!

56 leaf clover grown by the same Japanese farmer!!

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.

there is maybe a clover with less than 3 leaves

yo whs up!! (ha ha) way to go farmer i just found 8 and i want luck and i want it now! but keep mutinatin' those clovers i might visit there so i can have some luck!:-)

Awesome-sauce!!! Never thought such a thing was even possible... Guess I should have known better xD :P

My sister has been finding 4-leafed clovers in my yard for the last two summers. (She just seems to look down and there they are, but I had to *hunt* to find one myself. >_<) The other day she found a 5-leafed one. It is being pressed for posterity. :)
