Thalictrum is a genus of 120-200 species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the buttercup family native mostly to temperate regions.Thalictrum is a taxonomically difficult genus with poorly understood species boundaries; it is in need of further taxonomic and field research for clarification. It is unrelated to the true rue (family Rutaceae), but resembles it in having the petiole twice or thrice divided

Rob I agree, although i am still a bit confused why they had another name card there, which they emailed me. but i guess mistakes happen
"Fascinating shawl of the tree!"

Rob, could it be a pink flowered hybrid?
People in the garden there ided it and it even has a name tag now..
I agree it looks like Thalictrum, however, Thalictrum pubescens is a white flower.
finally, ided. and it was Royal Botanical Gardens, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, not Edwards Botanical Gardens
nope, the flowers are shown on the picture in actual size, ageratum is way smaller
Ageratum maybe?
Unfortunately it didn't have ID card as they have in Royal botanical gardens in Burlington
Unfortunately it didn't have ID card with it
No to foliage pics. I spotted it at Toronto botanical gardens (Edwards gardens), just outside, no to greenhouse
I am having trouble IDing this one...however it is not sasparilla, do you have any other photos which include the foliage. Any other info you can pass forward about habit and habitat?
yes, all the pictures i found in google had white flowers.. that was my concern. Thanks, I left him a comment
It sure does look like it. I've never seen them with pink flowers. Check out my friend's spotting. Maybe ask him what he thinks.
