small Pelargonium, two-tone flowers IDd by Oron as 'Captain Starlight'

I would be interested to know the cultivar name for this small Pelargonium.
As well as being small, it is rather brittle - the winds often used to snap branches off near ground level.
I have moved it to a slightly sheltered spot, and it has rewarded me with this lovely display.

Excellent - thanks very much Oron.
I hate having plants and not their names - it is like having a friend (or foe!) and not knowing their name.
