  An article by Warren I. Pollock in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2009 Vol. 40 No. 1) quoted 
Steve 
Chamberlain on his introduction, H. 'Academy Brobdingnagian Viridity', "...it's 
the largest green hosta from my original cross of (H. 
						'Sieboldiana' × 
H. montana  ) 
and (H. montana  ×  
						
						H. 'Sieboldiana'). I've registered only three out of more than 
1,000 seedlings I grew to 8-year maturity: H. 'David F. Mahoney' registered in 
2002, 'Academy Blue Titan' in 1999 and now 'Academy Brobdingnagian Viridity'...is 
a silly way of saying "Big Green"...Brobdingnagian is from Jonathon 
Swift's Gulliver's Travels."
