Came across this plant during a walk today. Took the picture of it to help me identify it. I thought originally it was Sweet Cicely, but the leaves didn't look right. Dug through a local wildflower identification book, and then was thinking Dwarf Ginseng...but again the leaves don't look right...flower is striking. Anyone?

The flower does look like ginseng.

This is sweet cicely - the flower looks quite different to your plant.

 
It will give me the powers of the gods. Not bad for a tiny ad:
