I've been trying to get the growth pattern of the leaves down, playing with scale and overlaps to make it interesting, but this is a messy and dense plant. I wish I had taken more reference photos. Even the local nursery wasn't great help, since all their hibiscus varieties had more curled and serrated leaves.

This is shaping up nicely! Maybe you need to take another trip to Hawaii to get more reference shots.
