Trifolium dubium, the lesser trefoil, Yellow clover, suckling clover, little hop clover or lesser hop trefoil, is a flowering plant in the pea and clover family Fabaceae. This species is generally accepted as the primary plant to represent the traditional Irish shamrock.
Purple Shamrock. Oxalis triangular.
Three purple heart shaped leaves, which each have three sides, that sit symmetrically to one another at the end of every stem. White flowers that emerge above the darker colored purple foliage, creating a strong contrast.

Pontypridd based Jones Motors (t/a Shamrock Shoppa) were running a sizeable fleet of vehicles on bus services and school contracts in the Mid Glamorgan area of South Wales in during mid 1990s. Former National Welsh HR3478 (VHB 673S) is seen at the bus station in Aberdare on July 5th 1995.
"The Tower Station and U-Drop Inn Café is located along historic Route 66 in Shamrock. Built in 1936 by J. M. Tindall and R. C. Lewis at the cost of $23,000, this gem of a building got its start in the dust when John Nunn drew his idea for the station on the ground with an old nail. Plans were later given to architect Joseph Berry who set the final wheels in motion. With its Art Deco detailing and two towers, the building was designed and constructed to be three separate structures. The first was the Tower Conoco Station, named for the dominating four-sided obelisk rising from the flat roof and topped by a metal tulip. The second was the U-Drop Inn Café, which got its name from a local schooolboy's winning entry in a naming contest. The third structure was supposed to be a retail store that instead became an overflow seating area for the café. The Tower Station was the first commercial business located on the newly designated Route 66 in Shamrock, and is one of the most imposing and architecturally creative buildings along the length of the road."

The 5yrold's best pal, Miss McKenna L, loves to have her photo taken as much as her Mom. Looks better to me in the lightbox so maybe press L.
The end of every week starts me stressing that I have no cliche shots and no time to try to make any. Saturday morning finds me skimming through recent photos and trying to squeeze something under the rubric of one of the scavenger categories to avoid getting bounced. Spongebob PJs and Shamrock Shades have to be cliche, maybe under costumes or seasonal or, with a stretch of desperation, maybe unusual perspective. Anywho, have a Happy Cliche Saturday!

Looking more like a dealers/scrap yard, this is Shamrock's Abercynon garage on the 20th of March 2005. By the angle of the steering wheels I would say that they are both Leyland Tigers. A Plaxton Viewmaster on the right and a Plaxton Supreme V(?) on the left which, if I'm not mistaken, was new to Hill's, Tredegar.
Still in the livery of former owner East Yorkshire was this Plaxton Pointer bodied Dart, captured in Poole Bus Station a few years ago. Shamrock Buses no longer exist.
