    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Really more of a grex than a clone (actually its more of a plastic but a cut above those cheesy plastic spring bulbs that you see in full bloom 12 months of the year.) In cultivation it is represented by numerous similar forms. It originated as a cross between Narcissus romieuxii and Narcissus cantabricus var. foliosus made by Blanchard's father. Several including 'Taffeta' were named and the balance sent to Alec Gray who went on to distribute multiple clones under the name 'Nylon'. As you might guess from the parents and the breeder, it is excellent.
