Hi Scarlet! I live in CO as well but don't have peonies here anymore, moved them to where we'll retire in AL. I went back through the pics of peonies that I had here but wasn't very successful in getting groupings that actually were blooming at the same time. The only pics from the same dates that struck me as pretty together were Berry Garcia and New Millennium. They weren't planted close together in my garden, NM was on a slope in a north facing bed that was shaded all winter and woke a week or more later than the beds in full sun all year so I doubt if they'd open concurrently in the same bed.
BG seems to vary greatly in color depending on location. Mine bloomed clearly cream with pink edges and darker middle, a lot of pics I've seen looked more copper.
CO hail storms are no joke, I've had complete bloom seasons decimated by hail storms. I actually got a pipe bender and created frames for the last peony rows I created here so I could put up hail protection after a few bad hail years in a row. So no, I wouldn't say you have a peony problem!
