British boy finds seven-leaf clover
Alastair Barnes said he was walking in the Coombe Bassett nature reserve, near Salisbury, England, when he came upon the seven-leaf clover, a variety experts said are even rarer than the traditionally lucky four-leaf clovers, the Daily Mail reported.
"I was really hoping to find a four-leaf clover when I spotted one with seven leaves," the boy said. "I was amazed and I immediately shouted to my dad: 'Daddy daddy, I've found a seven-leaf clover.'
"He didn't believe me at first but then he came over and had a look for himself," Alastair said. "I picked it and took it home. It was amazing to find something so rare -- I was so happy."
The boy said he is keeping the clover in a book to keep it safe.

I started to look for 4-leaf clovers 55 years ago and have found thousand of them, 5-leaf clovers are quite common also, Now you talk about 6-leaf clovers, they are harder to find because they just look like two 3-leaf clovers together, and yes, I have also found several 7-leaf clovers but you cannot press them to save because it is impossible to fan out the leaves.
When I'm out side walking through the yard I can still look down and spot 4-leaf clovers quite often.
