"We didn't put in the pinks," Clover told me.
Give it a collar (a necklace, best in pink) and blanket (clover blanket for nonmembers, pink blanket for members).
Bright yellow buttercups and pink heads of red clover sparkle like dots of paint flecking the swaying green grasses and bushes.
The landscape is almost too perfect, the colours of the clovers too pink, the silvers of the birch almost blue.
On a recent visit these included grilled scampi and prawns on sweet potato with new-season Victorian pine mushrooms, and a cutlet of Clover Valley veal with mashed pink eye potatoes, braised radicchio and white cabbage and green lentil jus.
Tiny forest-edge meadows high in the mountains - cut for hay once a year - boasted a glorious mix of rich violet-blue Geranium magnificum, pale, sulphurous clover, Trifolium pannonicum, the cheery blancmange-pink vetch Coronilla varia, and elegant belled spires of campanulas in both creamy white (Campanula alliariifolia) and inky blue (C. collina).
Lucky Charms, for example, has morphed over the years from its original four pastel marshmallow charms (pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars and green clovers) in 1964 to an explosion of bright blue diamonds, purple horseshoes, red balloons, two-tone green leprechaun hats and yellow and orange pots of gold.
Clover, at 31, lives at home.
You may also be able to find red clover, which has red flowers ranging from light pink to shocking scarlet but tends to grow taller than white clover.
