Yellow clover (Trifolium dubium) is the shamrock associated with Ireland. Not the four-leafed clover that is associated with luck. The shamrock is a delicate three-leafed plant and said to represent the Holy Trinity, which is why it was associated with St Patrick. He used it to explain how the father, son and holy ghost are all one being.
We have multiple three-leafed and four-leafed plants growing in Ireland, including Wood sorrel (Oxalis acetosella), white clover (Trifolium repens), and Red Clover (Trifolium pratense).
Meanwhile, in the polytunnel, everything is coming to life.
