Question

What makes four leaf clovers so rare?

Community Answer

Researchers at the University of Georgia have found a rare recessive gene that causes clovers to have three leaves more often than they have four leaves.

Question

I think that the best time to find a four leaf clover is when it is raining or soggy outside and it is really cool.

Community Answer

You might be right, for that might be your lucky time. Perhaps you have a reason you might share with us as to why this time works best for you - maybe the extra leaf causes the plant to show itself differently in the rain, perhaps it sags more?

Question

Why don't they grow well in flowerbeds?

Community Answer

When another plant is already taking up the soil nutrients, space and light, other plants find it hard to compete. If the flowerbed is well tended, all weed plants (including clover) will also be frequently removed. However, a flowerbed that is sparse and poorly cared for might allow clover to grow.

Question

Can you still have the luck when you weren't the one who found the cloverleaf?

Community Answer

This will depend on the person who did find it. If they give it to you with a good heart and the intention to pass on the luck, there is surely no reason why that luck won't rub off onto you. If they give it to you with indifference or even malice though, it might not work.
