Anyone ever heard of Hibiscus Pacifica?

A lady in a nearby town gave me seeds from her hibiscus and she was told it was called "Pacifica". I grew some plants from the seeds and then we moved and the plants were left behind. This April I found some of the old seeds and managed to get one to germinate...I felt pretty good about that one plant because the seeds were 4 years old! Anyway, I would like to know more about this hibiscus. It's leaves are fuzzy and have 5 lobes, the middle lobe being longer. The ones that I grew a few years ago were about 2 1/2 feet tall, I think, and had a small (perhaps 2 to 2 1/2 inches), single, light peach colored bloom. It's seed pods were very much like the other hibiscus that I have (Texas Star, Southern Belle). I could hardly believe my eyes today when I saw that it had a bloom coming! My teenage son lost my digital camera, so no pic...sorry. Does anyone know this hibiscus?
