It’s really such an amazing plant I can’t keep my eyes off it

This #2, apart from the difference in size with #1 for having been born more than a month and a half later (from almost 1'70 meters the #2, to almost 3 meters the #1) looks different to #1: this #2 seems to me more South African Ciskei Higlands, while #1 seems to me more Congo Point Noire...

King Congo #2 2020
King Congo #2 2020
19 to 23-October-2020.
The night of the past 19th, the Atlantic storm Barbara arrived to Monte Adentro, with strong rains and wind, that would be loosening up until today, that cloudy dawn but without rain forecast. It hasn't rained "for real" since May, I think...
The maximum temperatures in the shade are fluctuating a lot, with days of 26°C and others of only 16°C... Nighttime lows have ranged from 13°C to 9°C. Logically, with the rain, the environmental humidity has shot up to between 65% and 100%.
For the strength of the storm, here it has not caused the damage or flooding of other places in the Iberian Peninsula or Northwest Africa.
So this morning I visited "La Perrera" with the hope of not finding any damage in my little ganjanal...
Fortunately, the three plants are intact.
King Congo 2° (Congo Point Noire * South African Ciskei Higlands; Tropical Seeds Company nacida el 18-Junio / born 18-June).
...I have found it bent, not because of the heavy rain and wind by the Atlántic storm "Barbara" of last days, but because of the weight of its main tail for its small size. Its current aroma is like a mixture between lemon, mint, sweet carrot, and kiwi...
