Pronounced: "Try-foal-e-um, repp-enz"
What the hell does it mean?
Trifolium repens means 'white clover'. It grows all over Europe and in parts of North America, West Asia and North Africa.
It is the type of plant in which SHAMROCKS are formed from!
History/ Origin?
Well long ago, when he wasn't beating snakes with a stick, St Patrick used the clover/ shamrock leaves from this plant to illustrate the doctrine of the trinity! In Victorian times, the plant and it's shamrocks were used for their medical properties to treat the ill.
Examples of everyday use in conversation:
"The doctor said i cant drink today so i decided to go find me a four- leaf clover! Gonna need a field rich in Trifolium Repens though!"
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY EVERYBODY!
