How the pair leans

Why it might work
  • A shared threadPowdery and iris run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put English Major in fall and winter and Royal Service in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: English Major is long lasting and moderate, Royal Service weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
