   • "Shamrock" a Nebulous Term. The term shamrock comes from the Irish word seamróg or seamair óg, which translates as "little clover." That's rather vague, considering that there are many kinds of clovers (and even more plants that often pass as clovers).
   • Four-Leaf Clovers vs. Shamrocks. What medick, the wood sorrels, and the true clovers all have in common is a leaf made up of three leaflets. The number three is significant in the Christian religion because of the doctrine of the Trinity.
   • Clover Beneficial to Lawns. Considering the Saint Patrick's Day traditions surrounding shamrocks and four-leaf clovers, it is surprising that the clover is often looked upon as merely a common lawn weed, the killing of which we deem central to lawn care.
   • Clovers Lawns vs. Grass. The reason clover lawns don't require fertilizing, as does grass, is that these plants are nitrogen fixers. They share this ability with other cover crops in the pea family.
