Hopefully the link above will work. I keep getting a glimpse of these on the TV programmes but don't recognise them. It is the pink flowers, rather delicate looking rising above the white flowers in the centre part of the picture. Does anyone know what they might be?

I have just realised they look more lavender colour on the link whereas on the TV they definitely look pink.

I can't get a really close look toscalily but I think it might be Thalictrum Delavayi

Scones I agree with you. Checked on Sarah Raven’s website where she has a double variety of Thalictrum Delavayi. I think they originate from China so tie in with the theme.

Thank you both so much, now I know what it is I can get some. I have looked at several websites and delivery seems to be now, from November or next Spring.

You're very welcome. I wish I'd said earlier that there is another Thalictrum called 'Black Stockings' which is a stunning plant.
Lovely flowers floating on dark stems. Grows to 2 metres!
