water rat Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm not v good with the umbelifera group ,too many! and my camera's not working. So here goes with a description pink flushed flower heads of strong lily-like perfume. seems to like damp ditches and shade where it grows over 2 metres high. Typical ribbed stem,but the leaves are arranged like mini palm fronds and not typical of the group. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thalictrum? Loads here, both pink and white- very fluffly little flowers- gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odile Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just checked, thalictrum has a smooth stem. So angelica it might well be. Will you cristallize s (sp??) some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water rat Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks for all the suggestions ,but none of the leaves look anything like mine .I will try to scan one shortly and see if that works . It's altogether more elegant and delicate than the usual umbelifera and the leaf is fern_like.I have just one flower head in a glass and the fragrance is filling the room.
