Four Leaf Clover is NOT Shamrock~!
Four-leaf clovers are rare, while three-leaf clovers like shamrocks are in abundance. A clover must have three leaves to be considered a shamrock. If the clover has more or less, then it is not a shamrock. Hence, all shamrocks are clovers, but not all clovers are shamrocks.
As Ireland’s national symbol, the Shamrock is one of the most recognizable Irish symbols all over the globe. A shamrock has three leaves, and these three leaves commonly stand for faith, hope, and love. The word “shamrock” comes from the Gaelic word seamrog, meaning “little clover.”
You can easily spot the difference between the two because shamrocks have three leaves (or leaflets, technically) while four-leaf clovers have, four leaflets. A fourth leaf is where we get the luck from. The four-leafed clover, or “lucky clover”. It takes a rare genetic mutation to get that extra leaf which is why it’s so difficult to find a four-leaf clover.
