Unidentified plant (with links to photos)

Can anyone please identify a plant in my neighbour's garden in London. It was bought at a car-boot sale. Even the seller didn't know what it was called!

It looks very much like a form of Gypsophila, but the leaves are different to a Gyp.

I think its Thalictrum delavayi, but I may be wrong.

By jove - you're absolutely right!
I Googled Images with the name, and it came up with exact photos as mine. Well done, thanks very much.

Full name

It's full name is Thalictrum delavayi 'Hewitt's Double', which is definitely the one.
