This is growing in my brother-in-laws garden in B.C. Canada. I at first thought it was a Rodgersia but can't find a match for the leaves. The leaves remind me of an oakleaf hydrangea. The leaves behind the bloom shot are from another plant.

Rodgersia podophylla I think ..

Beautiful plant and I agree with Janet, it sure looks like Rodgersia podophylla:
