The shamrock has 3 leaflets. St. Patrick used it as a graphical example to describe the Trinity (Three in One) to the pagan Irish when he began his ministry. There is no particular significance for the 4-leaf clover except that it might be substituted by secularists who want to divert the holiday to celebrate secular or pagan concepts.
It is estimated that there is one four leaf clover per 10000 three leaf clovers. I would estimate that the multiplier is similar for a 5 leaf clover meaning that it is 1 in every 100 million clovers
Yes there are 4 leaf clovers in the Philippines if you have clovers, you have 4 leaf clovers somewhere, and you have 5 leaf clovers somewhere and even sometimes 6-or-more leaf clovers. All it is, is a genetic mutation in the clover that tells the plant to grow 4 or more leafs instead of the usual 3 and its found wherever clovers are found. How do I know...? It's because I found one, lying innocently in my aunt's backyard. :)
there are 10,000 3 leaf clovers for every 4 leaf colver
According to legend of western cultures, each of the four leaf clovers represent one theme.first leaf is for hopesecond leaf is for faiththird leaf is for lovefourth leaf is for luck.
It means your really lucky!
Four leaf clovers are just mutated three leaf clovers.
Yes, four-leaf clovers are considered rare, with the odds of finding one estimated to be about 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 clovers. This rarity is due to genetic mutations that cause the formation of an extra leaf. Most clovers found are the common three-leaf variety, making the discovery of a four-leaf clover a special and often sought-after find.
They are a mutation of three-leaf clovers. A recessive gene is responsible for the fourth leaf.
A four-leaf clover is caused by a genetic mutation that results in an extra leaf growing on the clover plant. This mutation is rare, making four-leaf clovers uncommon to find in a field of three-leaf clovers.
Four leaf clovers
Not many. Only 1 in every 20 four leaf clovers would be a 5 leaf.
You find them where there are a lot of clovers.

No, not at all.
It is part of superstition that four-leaf clovers are lucky, and four-leaf clovers are green, thus the theme of luck is green.
