<!-- Here is an interesting article on [http://www.rugbyschool.net/sub/phusion/articles/four_leaf_clovers.htm Why Are Four Leaf Clovers So Rare]. It also explains why the 4-leaves are so often found in the 3-leaf + 1 formation that I've noticed since I started taking pictures. (i.e. it looks like one leaf has been tacked into a regular 3-leaf cluster.) -->

This can't be a coincidence can it? I put up Turtles on The Simpsons and then this chalkboard gag shows up! OK, OK, so it's just a coincidence.

I see dead people. Er, I mean, I find mutant clovers. (Sometimes called "Four-Leafed Clovers", but I'll include more :D )

I started finding them when I was a kid on lazy summer days on the family farm. I guess it laid the pathways for good clover spotting algorithms in my brain, because I keep finding them. Before starting this page, I'd found several with 5 leaves, one with 6, a few with unseparated leaves, etc. Interestingly enough I've found more around roadsides than on Argonne National Laboratory itself, even though I expected the mutation rate to be higher there. But those car exhausts really cause havoc on clover I guess :(

So, a couple of years ago, I decided to let the mutants take over and stop picking them and start taking pictures. (OK, really I was tired of trying to preserve them after I picked them.) So.. here are some pictures. (Be sure to click on the thumbnails - they're cropped out from the larger composition.)

Images with this symbol Anaglyphcolor.gif have stereo versions associated with them. Click on the thumbnail to see the full-sized image as well as the stereo images.
