Hi Paul, yes those are my noids. It used to look like this when I first got it: got it in June 2013, from a Bay Area nursery, repotted it, and then kept on bolting through summer as it felt our summer heat here:

Then I repotted it after the blooming was done, with lots of empty spots, moved it to the bonsai containers it lives in now. I still lost some, the following years were really so dry and hotter then. So thankful we had rains last winter and the cool Spring season this year was longer, it seems to help them cope much better.

Greg, thanks for the links! So those are the cillosum ones! Oh I love those that get red tipped! Lovey dubby
