Characteristics and comments: The Fried Egg water lily is one of the most curious and fascinating creations to come out of the selection work of European hybridisers Dieter Bechthold and Christian Meyer. This medium-sized variety stands out for its striking visual dynamism, which transforms the pond into a constantly evolving natural art gallery. During the first few days, the flower has a composed and refined shape, but it is towards the end of its cycle that the magic that gave it its name takes place. The outer petals flatten generously on the surface of the water while the centre lights up with an intense, sunny yellow, perfectly evoking the image of a fried egg. This distinctive feature, combined with the vigour of the plant and its ability to produce numerous buds throughout the season, makes it a must-have for any enthusiast. Choosing 'Fried Egg' means bringing not only a hardy and easy-to-grow plant to your pond, but also a real talking point that will amaze your guests and bring a smile to your face every day thanks to its unusual and charismatic beauty.
