💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🍀🧬 Only about one in 5,000 #clovers has four #leaves. Why are they so hard to find?

Esther Ikoro explains how biological variation and factors like #soil, #air, #temperature, or even nibbling #insects determine if a seed grows in unexpected ways. She also shares a visual trick you can use to find them in a clover patch.

Update on my longterm backyard soil remediation project & trying to replace lawn with alternative groundcover/edible & medicinal plants/wildflowers. This is part of the patch that I did cardboard/seaweed/leaf mulching on last year. It now has mixed #clovers & #DeadNettles & #chickweed. These will all attract more pollinators, when they flower too 🐝🦋

It’s time to step away from the circle style for a bit - I think I’ll return to it later.
For now, here’s this little cat surrounded by clovers 🍀🐱

Purple #deadnettles growing amidst white & red #clovers. Both attract #pollinators.
