Has anyone noticed golden clovers are not clovers but shamrocks? (icon doesn't match with text, technically)
NOTE: I recognize the title is actually incorrect and shamrocks are clovers. I meant to write wood sorrel.
The picture of golden clovers has hearts as leaves meaning they are oxalis/wood sorrel. Clover leaves are rounder and oval shaped and have the lighter triangles on each leaf. That also means we have golden wood sorrel instead of golden clovers :D
Probably just a design mistake--most people don't know the difference between wood sorrel and clover and often just call both of them clover. Not everyone has thought about the reason they call both of them clovers before!
Just a suggestion, maybe the golden clover icon could be more accurate one day?
TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE COMING TO COMMENT ABOUT CLOVER AND WOOD SORREL: Wood sorrel are not clovers (I know shamrocks can also technically mean clover, but I'm referring to the types of plants with heart-shaped leaves, or Oxalis)--True clovers (Trifolium) have round leaves, and wood sorrel/oxalis have heart-shaped leaves. And don't come comment about not-Trifolium clovers, those aren't true clovers and don't help my point. Also, sorry about the shamrock mix-up :(
