What it looks like is the double Galtonia candicans, called 'Moonbeam' but that is ceamy-white of course.

Just found this - I would suggest an Althaea rosea (Hollyhock) or a Lavatera.

Robin  :o :o :o

You are right : this is Thalictrum delavayii 'Hewitt's Double'
the diameter of one flower is 5 mm  :P

My compliment - you are very clever  ;)
