The four leaf clover (Trifolium repens) is not native to the Philippines, as it is typically found in regions with temperate climates.

The rarity of finding a four leaf clover in the wild in the Philippines would be significantly higher compared to regions where they are more common.

Collectors have been known to find dozens a week for use in arts and crafts. In clover, about 1 in every 10,000 sprouts has 4 leaflets instead of the usual 3.

In 2010, scientists at the University of Georgia discovered the gene for the recessive 4th leaflet in white clover, which might be artificially induced to produce greater numbers of the rare plant type.

What is the connection between leprechauns and Saint Patrick?

  • The leprechaun is an old Irish legend. He is like a spirit.
  • I don't think there is a direct connection. Leprechauns are based upon Irish luck fairies and the Celtic version of dwarves, which were small slimy gold hunting tricksters. St. Patrick was the person who supposedly drove out the pagan beliefs and imagery of ancient Ireland. It is likely to simply be Disney-ecse cuteness to have some nice creatures to prance around in the parades etc.
  • There is no connection, except that they are both Irish.
  • Leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day are connected because a leprechaun is an Irish symbol of good luck. Also Saint Patrick had good luck on his escape from the people who captured him.
  • Leprechauns have been in Ireland for millions of years.They are not synominus with any other country. St Patrick was born in Wales but came as a boy slave to Ireland around 400A.D. He escaped and came back to Ireland as a man and Christian Bishop.He converted the pagans living in Ireland to Christianity and thus became Pastron Saint of Ireland.He is buried in Downpatrick in Co. Down
