Better Call Saul: 10 Breaking Bad Easter Eggs You Totally Missed

10. Lily Of The Valley

In the real world, Lily of the Valley is a sweetly-scented, bell-shaped flower that grows in the northern hemisphere and is highly poisonous to both humans and domesticated animals. Breaking Bad fans will remember it as being the plant growing in Walter White's back garden, and the go-to selection for when he decides to poison Brock, Andrea's son and the ultimate way to pierce Jesse's heart.

Walt correctly assumes that using the flower will throw Jesse's suspicions towards Gus Fring and ensure his loyalty going forward. It's a real sinister moment for the character, and arguably the most definitive point in his transformation from Walt to Heisenberg.

In the very first episode of season three in Better Call Saul, Jimmy is shown leading one of his clients, an elderly woman called Mabel, to the door with her going into every little detail about her nephew's confirmation party. The highlight of this decor? A wonderful selection of Lily of the Valley.

Given the fact that this all comes in the same season, and just one episode, before the introduction of the Chilean Chicken Man himself, it makes for a nice subtle tie-in to the world of Breaking Bad.
