Happy St. Patrick's Day ☘️ Did you know that Hawai'i has its own "Four Leaf Clover"?? While it's mainly found on Oahu and Moloka'i, it's fun knowing we have this adorable endemic plant right here on the Islands.

Technically it's a type of fern, but it closely resembles the clover.

Check out Hawai'i Magazines short article for more info. https://www.hawaiimagazine.com/did-you-know-hawaii-has-its-own-four-leaf-clover/
