A schoolgirl hunting for a four leaf clover has done one better - and found a clover with FIVE leaves.

Tallulah Jarvie, aged 10, from Exeter in Devon, was determined to find a lucky plant while walking home from school on Thursday.

But instead she found a five-leaf clover next to Pinhoe train station, in Exeter, Devon.

A four-leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck.

But a five-leaf clover is said to attract extra good luck as well as money.

The five-leaf clover is a mutation just like the four-leaf clover, however, it is much less common - with odds of one in 20,000.

Occasionally, six and seven-leaf clovers can occur.
