🤔  A good challenge for sure.. 

Things i've ruled out, For now:

* Hawthorns ( Crataegus )

* Viburnum

* Spirea ..Though i'm haven't totally ruled out that genus..  I feel like i remember seeing this  ..or something awfully close to it..  in yards  / nurseries in Ohio when i lived there.

** Based on flower shape / characteristics that stick out in my head,  something in the Rose or Saxifrage family seems to be the direction i want to go when looking for a match within different genus / species...

Flower morphology doesn't seem right for something in the Begonia or Ranunculus fam. plants ( = plants like Buttercups / Anemone, Poppies )


Blue flowers are Forget - me - nots ( Myosotis )  ...or a close relative in the Borage family..  Pretty obvious characteristics w/ those.

Hrmmm 🤔

Actually, that did help..  Plant is Darmera peltata, Umbrella Plant / Indian Rhubarb.. Is actually a native from Northern California / Oregon.  Saxifrage family.

It is quite attractive.. Leaves too, lol..

Elephant Ears, Genus Bergenia,  is a similar looking plant you might see planted there or nearby. 

About as hardy,  but not quite as attractive as Darmera.

thank you very much, Nathan, for the extended

explanations and information.

we'll be in the area again soon, then we'll have another look and take photos, as we've noticed that the ground there is rather damp and there's no direct sunlight
