    This was a gift a few years ago from a ebay auction.
    She said I would be pleasantly surprised.
    I was, it is very delicate abd lots of shoots come up in the middle of summer with
    very tiny flowers that turn to seeds.
    The second picture is last years.

    Thank You

    Yes, a close-up photo of the flowers might be necessary to narrow it down to which species fo meadow-rue.

    Thank You, this has helped me very much.
    I think I have narrowed it down to Thalictrum minus.
    When it starts to bloom I will get a better picture.

    I will search nurseries for more like it.
    I love this plant.

    Thank You
