Chuck, Photos are not  clear in particularly the leaves which are important for the identification.
Trying to figure, i think it might be Pedicularis siphonantha and Gentiana haynaldii.

yes I think that is Pedicularis siphonantha var. delavayi the description seems to fit on eflora china

The Gentiana I am not sure Gentiana forrestii is also close by the habitat but I did not see any other plants with blue flowers around. Compared it with Gentiana haynaldii and it did have the spots at the center of the flower. But I am not an expert so I cannot really tell

Infact Chuck this is why i said there is a need for a better photo,
still i think by the size of the sepals compare with the petals make me think more of G. haynaldii :-\
