Unusual clover

In looking for four-leaf clover, I found a different kind of leaf in another patch in the front yard that has inverted curves on the sides of the leaf, which make the leaves look hour-glass shaped. Clover is a good nitrogen fixer for soil and good companion for grass. And makes for interesting discoveries.

Here is another opportunity for finding four-leaf clovers! My answer in the second picture.

Clover gazing

Here are two more opportunities for clover gazing. (Hint, think squares instead of triangles when looking for four-leaf clovers.)

Let’s go again.

Happy gazing.

I’m looking over…

A five leaf clover. Five leaves. Five.

I was doing my usual scan for four-leaf clover in a clover patch in my front yard, and spotted something new. I thought maybe it was a couple of separate clovers intertwined, but no, the patch produced a five-leaf clover. As this is my first sighting, and the specimen was pristine, I did pick it from the patch and put it in a press for posterity.

Five!

Thank you to all our veterans for your service and sacrifice for our freedom and country. What you did and are doing matters. Thank you.

Another patch

I found a different patch of four-leaf clover in the yard!

And that’s what I have for today. We are rolling into summer which for me means a massive schedule change. There might be more plant and pet posts, or I might actually finish some projects and have something crafty to say. Hm.
