Shamrock Shortage

A severe shamrock shortage is threatening St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland and the “wearing of the green,” according to leading botanist Dr. Declan Doogue of the Royal Irish Academy.

The shamrock was “hit hard” by the severe winter weather and “won’t be easily found” this week, said Doogue, who also stated the national plant was under threat because of modern farming methods. More here.

Hope this news doesn’t put a crimp on your festivities. I think I celebrated enough  on Friday, but do you have any special celebrations planned for tomorrow?
