clover
Three-leafed ground cover
Clover is a low-growing plant with distinctive three-lobed leaves, common in lawns and pastures.
Finding a four-leaf clover is considered lucky because the mutation is rare.
To be in clover is to live in comfort or prosperity, from the plant's value as rich fodder for livestock.
