The largest clover had 56 leaves on it! To many, a clover with four leaves on it is a sign of good luck, but what happens when you find a clover with 56 leaves? On May 10th, 2009, a man named Shigeo Obara discovered this very rare clover! A place in Japan called Hanamaki City, Iwate was where this magnificent discovery took place. Shigeo Obara studied clovers before this discovery and held a previous world record for a clover, but this one was bigger. The previous world record in 2002 was the discovery of a clover with 18 leaves! While 18 is a lot of leaves for a clover, it doesn’t compare to his 2009 record of 56 leaves!
