Are they the same? What is different? I know it is a bit late for st parick but it isstill st patrick´s week , isn´t it? Cloverly yours Mariethe Edit: I did find an explanation given by some Irish guy and it´s quite funny to read. So here it is for you to enjoy http://www.instructables.com/id/St-Patricks-Shamrock-aint-a-clover/Edit: Dear Jayho: oodles ? noodles, you mean? Never heard that word before so I had to look it up! Thank you, you native lads and gals for teaching us those funny expressions of yours! I love reading you. Thank you Alienboy and Maryse EDIT @ Jayho: thank you for the link to the definition. In the first place, I thought it was a new recipe : �clover noodles�

Hi Mariethe
As AB said, shamrock is simply clover. Clover has 3 leaves but if you happen upon a 4 leaf clover, it is not shamrock but it will bring you good luck!
Clover is a weed here. And in all my years of weeding out oodles of clover from my garden I have never seen a four leafed clover. So no luck for me!
Clovers!
Jayho
Edit 1: Mariethe, oodles means lots of
