It gave me a “i’m stupid” moment, but then again there is a difference between this variaty and the one i’m used to;
T. repens, White or Dutch clover, is a perennial abundant in meadows and good pastures. The flowers are white or pinkish.

plien,
It becomes much more obvious when you click through to the wikipedia article linked to the name….
Andreas Johanssonsays
Act’ly, I think it’s dubious.

Aw, that made me smile.

Notice how the flowers are shaped like bananas – just the way god likes ’em. Obviously his banana pattern was one of his favorites. He loves bananas so much that he designed a Ray Comfort to drone on about the magnificent banana as proof of god’s existence. Who needs a bible when you’ve got a banana?

While the four-leaf clover is a symbol of good luck, the three-leafed shamrock is mainly an Irish Christian symbol of the Holy Trinity and has a different significance.
Hmmm. PZ- Are you backsliding?

I thought it was a garlic.

I still don’t get it. I didn’t recognize the flower – what’s obvious? I read the Wikipedia article too. I feel like I’m missing a joke here.
Sven DiMilosays
see, Curt–if that is your real name–PZ is in Ireland this week. And this particular kiind of clover is the subject of the linked ‘kipedia page, which begins: “This article is about a symbol for Ireland.”
See?

Dude, you’ve been around a while…joke spellings of the CO’s name are funnier if you mangle it up more than that.

The “Trifolium” really ought to have given it away.

We don’t really have clover in Arizona, at least not naturally. So I didn’t recognize it right away. I also don’t think I’ve ever seen a clover flower, either. Pretty. :)

@5- now even scrabble (TM) comes in banana shaped packages.
Minimally related thought: an ear worm by Tommy James and the Shondells (sp?)comes to mind. . .
