hard question to answer as there are so many things to ask: like indoor, outdoor, annual, perenial, houseplant? African violets are realitivley cheap and seed quite readily and you can probably get blooms in about 3-6 months from seed to se what your cross had produced. I grow orchids but seriously you dont get to see what your cross did for at least 3 years. I do know that lillys and bearded ireses are popular for this but they only bloom once a year. Violets might be your bet. Good luck!!!
