The 6-Leaf Sorrel

6-Leaf Clover Logo
6-leaf sorrel with double stem, relativity problems, function with asymptote, Gaussian bell, and a finger. 6-leaf sorrel (Oxalis pes-caprae) laminated to not lose it.

In this photo, you can see my 6-leaf sorrel from which I took the piece for the logo because I mistook it for a 6-leaf clover. In reality, it is still a unique or very rare specimen. I haven't found another one. And it is 100% authentic and natural.

If I remember correctly, I found it around '93, after finding a 4-leaf one and while looking for more 4-leaf ones to give to friends and my mother. Eventually, I realized that it's common to confuse Oxalis pes-caprae with clovers, and well, it brings me tenderness, and I've decided to keep it as the logo of my website. You don't need to be perfect to evoke good emotions, and at the same time, it's like a parable of how life leads you where you don't know. It's a very human thing.

About René Mérou

My name on mastodon.social is @trifolio6, which comes from clover, and I've used it in other instances. I am a high school computer science teacher and a Telematics engineer. In my free time, I have been an activist for freedom and critical thinking for over 25 years, and I remain fascinated by science. And in recent years, focused on Artificial Intelligence.

Now, regarding the values present in the image, I try as much as possible to also let myself be guided by critical thinking, rigor, and GRIT.
