This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Are those rare? Some say finding a 4 leaf clover means luck, but AFAIK 4 leaf clover is the most common.
Clovers usually only have 3 leaves. The probability of clover naturally having 4 leaves is 1 in 5000. But it's also a genetic thing, so they can be bred to have more leaves. The world record for most leaves on a clover was achieved through cross/selective breeding.
What was the record? Don’t leave us hanging
From memory it’s something like 53 leaves
