I think Canada would like a word
Legalise Canada

I always recognize the Canadian flag because of the iconic marijuana leaf
I wouldn't go that far. I have no idea what it even looks like.
Any love for the Hong Kong orchid?
Nah, it risks getting mixed up with maple's.
Haven't you seen any Gingko biloba?
You mean spades?
I think they are like butterfly wings. No other leaves looks like that.
Sorry, maple leaf for the win.
Shamrocks are pretty recognisable too.
Have to say oak myself, at least in the northern hemisphere.
Pointy oak, round oak or broad oak?
What a relief.
What a reefer leaf
Pine needles?
Maple leafs
Four leaf covers
Palm fronds?
Pineapple leafs are pretty identifiable
A pineapple leaf on its own could be any kind of long thin leaf though. It's only on a pineapple that they're obvious
As much as I wish this were true, even little kids can recognize clover leaf.
If I had to rate recognition I think it would be:
- Clover
- Fern
- Maple
- Cannabis
Individual leaves of clover definitely aren't that recognizable.
The leaf is the set of leaflets.
Ahh yes that's correct. My bad.
I feel like oak is also in the top 5. Possibly even higher than cannabis.
Depends on where you live. We don't have any oaks where I grew up. I couldn't tell you what their leaves look like
Thanks Bob.
Canada would like to have a word
Canada: Am I a joke to you?
Yes. This country certainly is right now
Have you seen South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?
The kids in the hall say yes
(four leaf) clover have to be in the top five most recognizable too
Probably more recognizable TBH.
