Lucky Me

My big task for yesterday was to go out and hunt for a four leaf clover. Whenever I pass a clump I tend to look down, just in case, but I've only ever found one that way. This time, I thought I'd take a more scientific approach and concentrate on a single patch and go through it on hands and knees. My garden is full of the stuff at the moment, so why not make use of it. Well, I never managed to find a four leaf clover. Instead, I found the even rarer FIVE leaf clover. When I started taking photos of it, my wife told me I'd reached a new low in boring. I'm not bothered, I think my little clover is class. Here's the pics:

usually the fourth leaf is smaller, but they're all pretty equal apart from the fifth in the centre, which is teeny.

The back view - you can't see the fifth leaf, but you can see the way the four split.
