A bit more info:
I found them between rocks. They look like saprophytic plants as they didn't have any leaves. I only found those two flowers (total size: 8cm, flower: 1.5cm).

Thanks for your help

Found in HK?

Gentianaceae? The shape of the anther looks like this:

Hi,

a few more photos taken this week-end. The flowers started to get eaten by some caterpillar (you can see on left flower). Hope all well... :)

Enjoy
