Question
I took these photos in upstate New York. The leaves look like a Thalictrum to me, but I don't know where else to look. Thank You,
Answer
Dear Auntie, You have indeed photographed a species of Thalictrum. It appears to be Thalictrum pubescens (tall meadow-rue), a native member of the crowfoot family. You've captured a staminate specimen (i.e., one with pollen-bearing flowers). Best wishes.
