7. In Japan, a 45 years old gardener named Yoshiharu Watanabe exceeded all expectations by growing a clover with 63 petals on his property. This achievement became a new world record and entered Watanabe's name in the Guinness World Records. The path to the record began in 2012, when a gardener, obsessed with the idea of breaking the record for the number of petals, began diligently caring for clover in his garden. He painstakingly applied various methods, combining natural and manual pollination. Despite the difficulties and setbacks, Watanabe did not give up, and his perseverance was eventually rewarded.
