Can someone please help identify this plant? Pictures below.
profileleaves_closeupseed



The plant has red "poofy" flowers which I don't have pictures of unfortunately. Someone identified this as bottlebrush (callistemon), but I now think that may have been a misidentification for the following reasons:



  1. The leaves (closeup above) are pretty differently shaped than what an image-search for "bottlebrush" turns up.


  2. The overall "profile" of the tree looks pretty different, I think, than image-search results for "bottlebrush."


  3. Image searches on "bottlebrush" show the red flowers as somewhat elongated, but mine were more spherical, not really elongated at all.


I'd be grateful if someone knowledgeable out there can correctly identify this plant. Thank you.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
