Age moment here. I should know this, but for the life of me the name will not come.

TIA

solomon's seal?

Mmm . . . I thought that.  Leaves look right  - not seen flowers like that.  A less common variety possibly?

Just googled 'soloman seal' and came across an image of 'false soloman seal' - looks similar

Interesting. I instantly thought Solomon's Seal but the flowers threw me too!

Look up Smilacina. There are several and I don't know them well but I think this may be one of them

Oh, that's rather a big link  - but I think it'll take you to the right place 

Think it's sometimes known as False Spikenard

Berghill, on google images halesia carolina looks a bit like your photo (I was looking at it in a book earlier today, strangely enough, and your photo reminded me of it). As it's a shrub, yours could only be a young version, if at all.

Think you're right nutcutlet.  The link above shows some photos of someones lovely garden and amoungst them is a picture of Smilacina racemosa.

...^yes it is a lovely garden.  I notice the garden blog belongs to someone calling themselves 'Owdboggy' which is the same as the link to the photobucket photo by Berghill... presumably it's his garden...?...
