A shared threadWoody runs through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Amethyst in spring and Malmaison in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Amethyst is weak and intimate, Malmaison moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
