Streptocarpus thompsonii, Streptocarpella saxorum varigated

Look at this cool tiny thing. It's a Streptocarpus thompsonii. It grows and looks much like a Streptocarpella. The flowers are small and mostly white. Its branching habit really doesn't look anything like the usual Strep.
The flower and buds (to the right) are small like the head of this pin.
And, coincidentally to compare the two, here is a variegated Streptocarpella saxorum. The leaves are smaller on this plant but the branching habit and flowers on a long pedicle look much like the S. thompsonii.
