Photo of Mystery Wilting of Flower Stems ?

I noticed this week that my (new this year) Irrisistable (sp?) Echinacea had several wilting flower stems, which appeared blackened and dried out at the section that was wilted. I've attached a photo that shows the wilting and blackened stems. Does anyone know what might have caused this? I've never seen this before on my Echinaceas (or anything else for that matter).

Thanks!!
