In the 1970's I was an avid (although small-scale) hybridizer of zonals
(Pelargonium x hortorum). I had to stop when my family and I moved to
another location, and I never picked it up again at the same level -- but it
remains very interesting to me. I did manage to develop one variety that,
last time I checked, was still on some dealers' lists: "Foxfire," a single,
pale lilac dwarf.
I would be happy to answer any questions, even if it means I have to go
digging in my notebooks from those days. (A notebook, by the way, is
probably the hybridizer's most important tool. That, plus a couple of good
novels to get you through the winter when your plants aren't setting seed!)

Barry,
Thanks for the information. What did you try to hybridize? Did you
have other successes? A discussion of different experiences would be
interesting.
