Holy Mole and Avocado seem nearly identical. Guacamole has more color. Stained Glass is even better.

I wouldn't say that Guacamole has more color than Holy Mole or Avocado though I have noticed that newer clones of Guacamole seem to have been selected with a slightly lighter center. Holy Mole and Avocado are wide margined versions of Guacamole that to me are a big improvement. The only difference between Holy Mole and Avocado in my gardens was that HM has a little more wax. Sort of like the only difference between Ambrosia and Gaucamole is a little more wax. If it was up to me then I would go with Avocado over HM or Guac.

Yes, Stained Glass is brighter than any of those, but if we are talking about other plants be sure to check out Cathedral Windows :)
