My Streptocarpus Saxorum flowering profusely

I've been meaning to photograph this Streptocarpus Saxorum as it has been flowering profusely for months. I was given it by Kay and Richard, friends who sell their plants at The Shambles outdoor market every week. Kay grows everything herself, and when I mentioned I particularly love Streptocarpus plants she 'forced' this one on me as a present! 

It is one I'd never seen before with smaller flowers than most types of Streptocarpus plants. At first it grew slowly but was always flowering and then suddenly when the central heating came on it grew in size and produced many more flower stems and with more buds.

I took it out to let its size spread on the patio table so I could try to photograph all of its flowers. It is a bit of a snap but another time I will treat it with more photographic care. Thank you very much, Kay.
