I think you're right Wallaby, about the name you've found for mine:
C.tommasianius var.Rosea.

When I googled the name, I came upon this site where they have a picture of it. That is the closest until now.

The second link you gave (alpines) didn't give any pictures, only a list, but perhaps it's my computer.

I like the combination of your Jeanne d'Arc with the purples and the blues.
They almost look like tulips. I suppose that these big crocuses are more suitable for larger spaces like laws in giving a greater impact, than the little and more subtle species.

Love your 'Ruby Giant' Critterologist, and I'm curious to see that C. seiberi 'Tricolor' of yours.

Here is one, I've planted last autumn, don't know it's name, but it looks different than the others I have.
I haven't seen one open yet, but this is the bud.
