what's wrong with my purple coneflowers?

These were planted last fall and were doing really well, but now one plant seems prone to have flowers that turn brown and wither at the ends of the petals. Also they aren't getting the characteristic droop. A plant next to it seems to be doing fine. Could it be too much water? My reference books don't seem to address the issue of overwatering of flowers, but I think maybe the sprinklers have just been putting too much on the flowers due to the drought, plus I have been dumping bird bath water toward the problem plant thinking it could only help. If it's not overwatering, what else could cause this?
