The 'luckiest mum in the world' has joked she might start playing the lottery after making a rare find in the park.
Katie Lyon was walking with her family, including 22-month-old son Kyrian, in Bowring Park, Huyton, on Monday when she came across a cluster of approximately 29 four leaf clovers in the grass.
The 35-year-old, from Gateacre, said there was even one five leaf clover.
Four-leaf clovers are relatively rare, and those who find them are said to be very lucky.
According to experts, the probability of finding one is between 1 in 5,000 or 1 in 10,000 - but they tend to be found in clusters.

Katie found the cluster in Bowring Park, Huyton (Katie Lyon)Katie told the Liverpool Echo: "I was walking near my mum and dad's house with my little boy and my niece. We stopped to look at a patch of daisies and stuff and realised there was four-leaf clovers there.
"I just kept finding them - there was just lots of them. I'm either tuned in to finding them or just lucky.
"I know they curl up if you don't put them flat so I took them back to the car and put them in the car log book."
When she got home that night, Katie said she put the clovers on two pieces of A4 paper to dry, pressed between two books. In a strange turn of events, Katie said she also came across another four-leaf clover in Calderstones Park the following day.
She said: "I'm not sure about luck. I understand there's luck associated with it...I might put the lottery on just in case."
With four-leaf clovers being typically hard to find, Katie said she wanted to let people know "that in Liverpool they are out there".
She added: "Other people might be able to find them and share the luck as well."
