Astrantia

Below is a link to a photo of 3 Astrantias I grow. The top photo is A. major (one of the red cultivars. Lost the tag, sorry). The middle photo is A. major 'Sunningdale Variegated' (variegation seems to become much less pronounced as the season progresses). The bottom photo (white flower) is a plant I always thought was an Astrantia, but the flower is quite different. Is this, indeed, an Astrantia, and if so, which species?

Any help would be appreciated. The reason I ask is that a variegated seedling of the 3rd type has popped up in my garden, and I want to be sure of its identity.

After almost 6 weeks of rain, we're finally having some sunny, dry weather!
