The four-leafed clover seed sold by Parks was a variant of ordinary white clover. It mostly grew ordinary clover leaves, but had an unusually high frequency of leaves with four leaflets. I planted it when the kids were small, and for several years the back yard yielded a couple of four-leafed clovers (that were found) each summer. Those clover plants were a different strain from the rest of the white clover in my yard (a little larger, both stems and leaves) but were certainly white clover. It was a fun novelty, and is probably still available.

Many of the "four-leaf" clover seed aren't clover at all, but Oxalis. To get a true "lucky" four-leaf clover one must find the rare 4-leaf variant in a Trifolium repens (white clover) population. Unfortunately, the Leprechaun who told me this flushed after using the restroom, so I can't comment on the Prunus growth hormone thread.

Parks Seeds used to sell four-leafed clover seed. But it wasn't organic.
It was also a pricey crop to grow on the scale you will need.

Hey Alan, last night I was working on that experiment we were discussing:

The effect of Leprechaun urine as a growth hormone for prunus.

To attract the Leprechauns I thought I should sow an organic living mulch
of 4 leaf clover, but I can t find a supplier that carries seed for 4 leaf
clover  at least not organic seed Any suggestion? Give me a call
buddy and we can discuss it.

And, as to your idea...while Pixie dust sounds interesting have you given
any thought to how you will apply it? I mean were you thinking of dusting
it as powder or spraying it - are you going to use a sticker spreader? And
how do you know Pixie dust won' be harmful to bees? I really think you
need to run a controlled test on the Pixie dust there buddy. No scientist
worth his salt would just spread Pixie dust all over his orchard without at
least considering the impact on beneficial insects.

There is ridicule and there is kidding. If ridicule was the motive
sound advice and experience wouldn't be included. Extreme civility is
sooooo boring.

I was wondering if Good Friday grafts fail if you're Muslim or Jewish?
I assume you have an empirical study on the subject. OK, maybe that is
ridicule, but sometimes there's a place for that.
