Thalictrum ?
I was given this lovely plant (the picture doesn't do it justice) by a Freecycler who called it thalictrum, but I find there are many species. When it was given to me, it had some small blue, very dainty flowers, but they were lost in transit. I think it's T. delavayi, please can anyone confirm?

I have another one that flowers early summer, thalictrum aquilegifolium .....could be that one?
Thalictrum delaveyi is new/correct name...previously called Thalictrum dipterocarpum.

I bought one years ago in Belgium, named as delavayii but it grew to almost 3 metres tall so I assumed it was an Elin mislabelled. Here, I've bought an aquilegifolium and the same thing has happened! Gorgeous foliage and then tall, thick, purpley flower stems topped with a froth of lilac/purple buds that open to show long creamy stamens. I love it.
T. delavayii I've had for many years
