Trinacria?

The ancient name of the island of Sicily is Trinacria, and the flag of Sicily has a trinacria on it.  My grandfather was born in Sicily, so there's a sort of family connexion there.  Interestingly, the flag of the Isle of Man also has a three legged symbol on it.

Maple seeds typically come in opposed pairs; you can see on in the background.  Very rarely, they form triplets but are not often found on the ground because they stick up and are easily broken.  I've never seen a four leafed clover, but I'm holding a three winged maple seed.
