When it gets leggy, I just pull the long stem back into the pot and press to the soil, trying to form more of a bush. So far, it has worked well and will be easy to propagate in this way also.

I found it once, it is in that family. 4-5 inch stems for tiny purple violets in the classic shape. More commonly seen as a bush most places but alas, can't freeze to -40 F for 5 months...lol. Thanks Lori, I'll look more into it today.

This may be a relative of an african violet...check out gesneriads..on google. It's a big family... includes achimenes, saintpaulia, episcia,(I think that's what your Monkey Flower is), streptocarpus and gloxinia. (and definitely more...getting old...memory not what it used to be! lol.)
