4-leaf Clovers: A Finder's Guide

Step 3 Statistically Speaking...

Remember, 78% of all statistics are made up. So even though they say there is only one 4-leafer in 10,000 clovers, thats not entirely the whole story. One clover is just a member of one White Clover plant, which can cover from a few square inches to a few square feet. And some plants are more susceptible to mutation than others, so if you find one, look hard in the near vicinity. Several of the mutants pictured in the following steps were all found within a few square inches.

Mutant clovers are also more prevalent later in summer than they are in spring, and some places just seem more environmentally favorable to produce mutants.

You can eat clover if you have to! Not sure what the nutrition facts are, but they have a strong citrus flavor. Dandelions are also good to eat.

eaten both, dad has made wine from both in his past, lotsa people do.

[Tidnull]

wine? interesting! do you mean he made tinctures out of them or fermented juice?

[DrWeird117]

I think he mixed the juices of dandy and grape, or just dandy. Plain ol' dandy was fermented juice diluted with water, i think
