Astrantia?

I don't think the third picture is an astrantia, Don. It looks a bit
like the Canada anemone, which is a nice plant but can spread a lot so
watch out for the seedlings ...

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!
