This is called a "trailer." You won't find this at your local hardware and garden store. You either have to pick up trailers from African Violet clubs or from commercial African Violet dealers. Trailers have multiple crowns and each crown can send out blooms, so the entire plant can become decked in flowers. Rob's has many semi-miniature trailers. 

Rob's Humpty Doo is a semi-mini trailer. Wouldn't that look lovely on your windowsill?
