Echinacea purpurea (eastern purple coneflower or purple coneflower) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Echinacea of the family Asteraceae.[1] Its cone-shaped flowering heads are usually, but not always, purple in the wild.[2]  

It is native to eastern North America[1] and present to some extent in the wild in much of the eastern, southeastern and midwest United States.[3] 
This herbaceous perennial is 120 cm (47 in) tall by 50 cm (20 in) wide at maturity. Depending on the climate, it blooms throughout spring and summer. Its individual flowers (florets) within the flower head are hermaphroditic, having both male and female organs on each flower. It is pollinated by butterflies and bees.  
Its habitats include dry open woods, prairies and barrens, as well as cultivated beds. Although the plant prefers loamy or sandy, well-drained soils, it is little affected by the soil’s pH.

Here is one common ornamental species of Asteraceae of midwest United States and is called purple coneflower. It blooms from June to August and has pink, purple color.  
Date: 10th July, 2013
Place: Chicago, Illinois, US 
Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench 
Diagnostic features: Upper stems terminate in individual flowerheads. Each daisy-like flowerhead has 10-20 ray florets that surround a large central cone of numerous disk florets. The central cone is yellowish brown to reddish brown, somewhat flattened, and very prickly. The petaloid rays are purple, narrowly oblong, and they tend to droop downward with age. Bracts are green, hairy, and narrowly lanceolate, becoming recurved when the flowerhead blooms. In bright sunlight, the flowerheads are mildly fragrant. Afterwards, the disk florets are replaced by dark achenes that are narrow and flat. 
The flowers of Echinacea species are used to make an extremely popular herbal tea, purported to help strengthen the immune system.
Echinacea comes from the Greek word echinos meaning hedgehog in reference to the spiny center cone. 

Lovely captures …

A Purple Cone Flower taken on the 18th April at Mapro Garden, Mahabaleshwar.
I think it is from the family Echinacea.
Kindly confirm.

This is Echinacea sps. from Asteraceae.

Although leaves would help in fixing species, but length of rays relative to disc suggests Echinacea angustifolia

I am supporting … in this ID. I too think this plant is Echinacea angustifolia.

Echinacea purpurea as per another thread.
