Four-leaf clover

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU/Gray News) -They're hard to find, but lucky to have. Betina Reich has been finding four leaf clovers since she was 10 years old.

“Four leaf clovers aren’t lucky, it’s the people who take the time to find them are,” she said. “I was one of those kids who would always hurry up and get to the library to check out the newest Guinness book, and the thought of my kids checking it out and me being in there just makes me happy,” Reich said. “This is the one percent,” Reich said. “That was my goal, and then those 10 went to 20, 50, 100, and 112,” Reich said. “Everyday, we’d go out, go for walks to stay busy and active,” Reich said. “I don’t even know what it was at first, because I thought it was weird and I plucked it and I remember my friend telling me ‘Oh, that’s a four leaf clover, you’re so lucky,’” Reich said.

Wisconsin woman hopes her four-leaf clover collecting hobby can earn her a world record.

"I didn't even know what it was," she said. "I didn't even know what it was," she said. "And then those 10 went to 20, then 50, and 112," she said. "This is all the clovers I found from March 22, 2021, to December 4," she said as she showed off her collection. "And then those 10 went to 20, then 50, and 112," she said.

There's science to consider in four-leaf clovers for those lucky enough to discover them.

But Pennetti makes the point that while creating four-leaf clovers with the use of new genetic tools might be possible, he isn't in a rush to make that happen. Others might consider white clover to be a weed in a manicured lawn, but I don't see it that way. Gene-editing technology has opened the door for all sorts of advances in crop sciences. "It's been a really tough trait to do," Parrott said. Sometimes multiple leaf clovers spring from a healthier stem. Still, the precise way that happens seems to remain somewhat random, as luck would have it.

It started small, by trying to find one four leaf for 10 consecutive days. Reich hopes to start plucking clovers once the snow melts in Eau Claire, and you can track her progress on her social media accounts: Tiktok and YouTube. “I was one of those kids who would always hurry up and get to the library to check out the newest Guinness book, and the thought of my kids checking it out and me being in there just makes me happy,” Reich says. “This is all the clovers I found from March 22, 2021 to December 4,” Reich shows.

But, sometimes people may think they have found a four-leaf one when in fact, it was three-leaf clovers stuck together. If it’s a square, according to Pennetti, the lucky clover has been found. Searching for four-leaf clovers at a high vantage point is most ideal. With advancements in gene-editing technology like CRISPR, Pennetti believes a four-leaf clover could be created in a lab one day. He breeds clovers in his basement under a LED lamp. Though it is unknown how exactly the factors interact with each other.

A Wisconsin woman is seeking a Guinness World Record to make St. Patrick proud after she collected a four-leaf clover every day for 258 consecutive days.

Reich is now attempting to crowdfund the costs for an adjudicator's visit. She said Guinness told her she would have to pay for an adjudicator to visit her home to verify the size of her collection before a new category can be created. Reich, who documented her clover hunts on TikTok, said she is now attempting to get Guinness World Records to create a new category for most consecutive days collecting a four-leaf clover.

Talk about good luck: Last year, she collected four-leaf clovers for 258 days in a row!

And if you thought four-leaf clovers were shamrocks, you're not alone, but the Irish shamrock, the country's national symbol, only has three leaves.
