lucky clovers

Charm leaf quartet

Lucky clovers are four-leaf clovers, considered good luck charms because of their rarity—most clovers have only three leaves.

The phrase appears in casual speech and children's games: She spent the afternoon searching for lucky clovers in the yard.

Lucky clovers feature prominently in Irish folklore and St.

Patrick's Day imagery, though the traditional Irish shamrock has three leaves.
