St. Patrick's Day is here, you see.
We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three.
We'll count the leaves and look them over,
And maybe find a four-leafed clover.
I'll sew green buttons on my vest,
Green for St. Patrick is the best.
I'll wear a green hat, very high,
And dance a jig--at least I'll try!
I bought myself a shamrock plant for St. Patrick's Day which is coming up on Saturday. There's no such thing as a shamrock, you know. It's just an Irish legend about the lucky three leafed clover. My plant is Oxalis, a weed actually. It spreads by rhizomes and can be invasive in its favored woodland conditions. It's very happy in its pot in my sunny kitchen. It was a fine model for my photograph. They have shamrock plants at Simpson's Nursery in Jamul if you would like to buy one.
