I think Thalictrum sp.
Leaves should help.


Unfortunately cannot get to leaves in any of the views I have.


May be Thalictrum elegans


Many thanks … for the possibility of Thalictrum elegans; the plant at efi thread with possibility of Thalictrum elegans seems to have a different looking inflorescence.


Yes … I overlooked this shoud not be T elegans


How about Thalictrum alpinum ?


Thalictrum alpinum. A dwarf species with leaves usually on surface only and usually identified by the flowering stalk only.
