I have been sent these photos for ID of a plant growing in Michigan . The photos were taken yesterday 5th August....... it looks like a Filipendula to me, though the flower structure isn't right for that.....so perhaps you American Folks will be quicker with the answer than I......

Trond, I believe you are correct. There are several varieties, I believe it is
Aruncus dioicus var. dioicus
. Those who grow this plant reveal that they must weed out the prolific self-sown seedlings lest it smother everything else around.

Hi Guys! Thanks for this..... an SRGC forumist came up with the same conclusion. I feel stupid for not maikng the Rosaceae connection all the way to
Aruncus
! Especially when I weeded it out of my own garden many moons ago
Yes, I reckon the plant can be a real pest at times........ I've mentioned that to my Michigan correspondent.
