💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

Sur Le Pavé Qui Germe

L'enfant force son drapeau de toile entre les dents acérées,
Dans la gueule du fer calciné, l'odeur âcre et lente.
Ce jour, elle plante un étendard vert, geste qui persiste,
Au cœur de la crevasse noire, une semence ardente.

L'acier froid qui mordait tout l'horizon de ses flancs
Cède à cette poussée – têtue et volontaire.
Une tige de ciel perce ce lieu béant, victoire minuscule,
Et ce seul geste défait l'hiver du militaire.
