This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Clovers usually only have 3 leaves. The probability of clover naturally having 4 leaves is 1 in 5000. But it's also a genetic thing, so they can be bred to have more leaves. The world record for most leaves on a clover was achieved through cross/selective breeding.

What was the record? Don’t leave us hanging

GWR registered one at 63 leafs! Absolutely insane. Here's the picture on GWR

Biblically-accurate clover.

From memory it’s something like 53 leaves

Thanks, it seems it was just a childish memory.
