      Thalictrum sp.
      Snap Verdun.

      Edited to add.....
      Thalictrum aquilegifolium Black Stocking fits perfectly.

      Quote RHS....."Black Stockings' is a tall, herbaceous perennial with lacy foliage and upright, near-black stems to 2m bearing generous sprays of fluffy, bright purplish-pink flowers in mid- to late summer"

          Note: It's called Aquilegifolium because the leaves look very much like Aquilegia leaves - but they're a lot thicker.
