I only ask because it looks like in the pictures they are already starting to get pretty leggy. I failed with all of my indoor starts last year because they got leggy. I didn't have enough light for them indoors and none of them were successful once planted outside.
I've never tried sprouting them in baggies like that, so I have no experience at all on if that is what is actually happening.

Think , unless I they survive and grow - I'll put the papertowel & ziplock method down as a flop.

If you have the space on the papertowel to do so, it's probably better to just cut the paper towel and plant the seedling with the paper towel into the soil. Glad you mentioned that because I would have probably tried to do the same thing if my rose seeds sprouted. Now I will just cut the paper to save the delicate root.
Those are some cool plants. We have nothing like that around here, 'Cept for the bluegrass tree. Not sure if we have exactly that, but a few plants around here look like that.
