The "Plucky" family originated from a cross made by Ray South between 'Galina' and 'Golden Dwarf Champion'. 'Dwarf Galen's Yellow' was selected by Robin Bort, working together with her son who was eight years old at the time, and named after her son. Numerous members participated in working on the most promising offspring, including Craig LeHoullier, Patrina Nuske Small, Susan Oliverson, Melissa Fink, Rebecca Gustafson, Nicole Diana, Linda Pugh, Bill Burke, Justin Sieglaff, Georgie Montoni, Jackie Gadbois, Patricia Hippili, Suzanna Dzejachok, Steve Carey, Amber Schneck and Nick Bolkowy, with Bill Minkey growing the seed for the initial release. Each packet contains at least 20 seeds.
