Thalictrum minus |

This is the most intricate, truly tiny meadow rue (compare the size of its leaves with the morning glory seedling right next to it). I love the almost ferny look of the diminutive leaves. It bloomed both this year and last, but I missed it both times - it must not hold its flowers for long. This spring I moved it to the edge of the patio, where I hope to watch it more closely.
For now, I'm lumping plants I started from seed labeled 'Afghanistan' in with this species, although the exact species isn't clear. I've seen hints that it is T. m. adiantifolium, or T. isopyroides.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. Read about all the meadow rues in our garden Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list About my plant portraits
