Seed Starting for Pelargoniums

I ran across an interesting article - Raising Pelargoniums from Seed by the Sprouting method. It reminded me of Jeanne's seed starting method that she describes in her blog Uncle Tom's Garden.
I have seeds aplenty of Pelargonium grossularioides (Coconut) and they start easily. You could almost call them invasive! But I was nervous about how to grow the P. elongatum (Upright Coconut) seeds because I have far fewer for experimentation. So the damp paper towel method it will be!
