four-leaf clovers
Sought meadow anomalies
Four-leaf clovers are clovers with four leaves instead of the usual three, considered lucky charms because of their rarity—roughly one in five thousand clovers has four leaves.
Finding one is traditionally thought to bring good fortune: She pressed the four-leaf clover in her diary.
The four leaves supposedly represent faith, hope, love, and luck.
