Is it another variety of African Violet?

It is in the gesneriad family like african violets. Once it bloomed I identified it as a streptocarpella, a variety of streptocarpus that has more a shrub-like habit but with very similar flowers, this one has blue. You can link to it through the what else section on the right in my garden under streptocarpella. It has become very large.
