I'd give that yellow one another year or two - one of my tree peony sources asks people not to post photos of their beauties for the first three or four years, as they may change a lot until they have the rootstock they need to feed their flowers properly. Giving that the quality you bought was a 1 year graft, it's quite likely it will increase in color intensity and number of petals and end up being the kinkaku you ordered.

that said, I'm waiting for my second year shima daijin - if the flowers really will increase over last year (see Photo) I think I will go blind from beauty ;)

As for mislabeled plants: I accidentally have a front garden full of Narcissus Pseudonarcissus basic yellow nearly wild form, which were said to be 5 (!) different cultivars on the packages. Oh well, they are vigorous as hell and I won't hesitate using them as cut flowers, as I would on the rarer versions, so I'm not too disappointed.
