This Chirita(C. longgangensis), an African Violet relative native to the Far East, has been blooming for me for several months. They can thrive with less care (cooler temps, less light) than AV. They bloom best when the roots are crowded and should be grown on the dry side, letting them get dry before watering. Leaves are woolly like AV. I have never seen these for sale in stores, but they are readily available online. I got mine through trades.
