Hi Fabrice welcome to the forum. I compared your pictures to other tibeticum pictures it looks almost the same. Very nice blooms.

It looks like a tibeticum; it may just be variance in the species.

Classic example of C. froschii, but with larger, nicer petals and dorsal sepal. A very fine example of this uncommon plant. Don't lose it! In terms of taxonomic differences, the field is split on this plant: some say it is a distinct species while others consider it a form of C. tibeticum.
