Re: Four Leaf Clovers....
a - yes the exsist
b - you'll find a 3 leaf before you'd find a 4 leaf, but they are out there

Re: Four Leaf Clovers....
Yes and very! 
The four leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck with its origin ages old. According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover from the Garden of Eden.
"The clovers also occupied a position in the cultural life of early peoples. White clover (T. repens L.) in particular was held in high esteem by the early Celts of Wales as a charm against evil spirits." Clover Science and Technology". N.L. Taylor, 1985.
Druids held the 4 leaf clover in high esteem and considered them a sign of luck. In 1620, Sir John Melton wrote: "If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.
The mystique of the four leaf clover continues today, since finding a real four leaf clover is still a rare occurrence and omen of good luck.

Re: Four Leaf Clovers....
When I was little my parents entire front job was clovers instead of grass and I used to find a few 4-leaf clovers each summer. When I was about 6-8 years old I remember me and my sisters and friends would spend good parts of afternoons looking for them.

Re: Four Leaf Clovers....
Everytime I visit my brother in NC I find lots of them on his lawn. I always get mad when he cuts the lawn just before we go there.
