Just to add, that this flower petals and sepal are a bit spread up.
They are usually not found in such widely open condition.

This could be one of the smallest, but not sure. Very delicate/elegant
and sensitive to heat. Hence if temperature rises, this plant is going
to get extinct from Himalayas soon.
