{{#spoiler:show=Solve Path (Part 1)| Solvers' initial instincts should be to follow the prompt at the top of the page, specifically to find the four-leaf clovers amongst the three- and two-leaved variants. Doing so, they should discover that there are exactly 5 of them, with each touching a single one of the letters. Taking these letters in reading order should spell solvers' final answer.}}

{{#spoiler:show=Solve Path (Part 2)| Now that the four-leaf clovers have been used, the one other odd things solvers should notice is the oddly-shaped two-leaf clovers (another not-too-common variant). Each leaf's long edge appears to point in one of the 8 ordinal directions. This paired with the fact that there are always two different directions being pointed to should indicate that semaphore is being used. The two-leaf clovers are arranged approximately into two lines of length 6 and 5, and translate to POTATO STATE, a clue to the final answer.}}

Each leaf's long edge points in one of the 8 ordinal or cardinal directions. This paired with the fact that there are always two different directions being pointed to clues to [[semaphore]], a common method of [[decryption]] involving pairs of directions. The two-leaf clovers are arranged on the page approximately into two lines of length 6 and 5. Reading each line using semaphore yields POTATO STATE, which is a clue for the part 2 answer.}}
