So if you want to find a good-luck charm of your own, try searching in an area where you know a four-leaf clover was spotted recently. An Australian woman experienced this trend firsthand when she discovered 21 four-leaf clovers in her front yard in 2014. They grow in clusters, so if you find one clover with four leaves, its relatives may be close by. The genetic nature of four-leaf clovers means that they aren't distributed evenly throughout the world's clover patches. Even when the plant's genome is right, external factors like temperature and soil acidity influence whether that extra leaf will reveal itself at all. Clovers only grow four leaves if they have the gene mutation on all four chromosomes. Clover chromosomes come in packages of four instead of two, as is the case in humans, which means the chances of recessive traits coming through are even slimmer. Extra leaves in the common clover species white clover, or Trifolium repens, are the result of a mutation passed down through a recessive gene. The rarity of this phenomenon has to do with genetics. They observed one four-leaf clover for every 5076 three-leaf specimens in the study. According to Readers Digest, an independent survey of 5.7 million clovers conducted by researchers in Switzerland had a more encouraging conclusion. The odds most commonly cited for finding one in the wild are about one in 10,000. But there are some steps you can take to increase your luck.Īppearing rarely in nature, it's easy to see how clovers sporting an extra leaf came to be viewed as lucky. If you plan on celebrating Irish culture by searching for one in your backyard, prepare to be out there for a while your chances of finding a four-leaf clover are one in thousands. In addition to leprechauns and pints of Guinness, four-leaf clovers have become an icon of the holiday. Patrick's Day falls on Thursday, March 17, 2022.

The four leaf clover and the Black Clover name was created based on the original founder’s initials, and for what the clover symbolized to so many. It was simple, yet sharp in color, with fine contrast stitching, a high performance headband, and an authentic logo that would grab the attention of everyone who came across it. In hopes to create a new tomorrow in headwear, the first Black Clover hat was born.

When Black Clover began, the vision was rooted in creating a quality headwear piece that was unlike any other hat currently on the market. Sometimes great things happen by chance, and more often than not– greater things happen by choice.
