Every year there are beautiful designs for St. Patrick's Day so here is a heads up. A shamrock has only three leaves.

The others are 4-leaf clovers and every bit as beautiful but they are not shamrocks.

Are shamrocks every bit as lucky as 4 leaf clovers are and why are 4 leaf clover only found in a patch of shamrocks or is it clover? Is shamrock clover at all? more questions...

I am Irish but I sealed a 4-leaf clover that I found when I was still married and that has been over 32 yrs ago. I have changed it from one billfold to another for all these yrs. I keep hoping it will bring me good luck..I really carry it out of habit. It is in the photo section of the billfold. My son and I found it when he was rather small and he just turned 45. It is incased in a hard plastic sealed thing made for keepsakes. I really do not remember which one of us found it but I was sitting on the ground with my son in a clover patch. It was in among a thick patch of thousands of 3 leaf clovers or shamrocks. My Mom's ancesters were traced straight back to Ireland. Her maiden name was Carroll. Her younger brother spent yrs tracing the family tree.
