Commonly know as masterwort. Astrantias are woodland perennials with showy, lobed, palmate leaves and colorful small flowers with delicate bracts. Masterwort produces many small, ivory flowers that are flushed pink and bloom continuously throughout the summer and fall, wafting a sweet scent. Like Queen Anne's lace, each masterwort blossom is an umbel of tiny flowers, framed by a collar of papery bracts. This one was a new one to me so the above information was based on my research. The scent on these wafted through the air with each breeze.
