I know of at least two Echinacae plants that have skinny (less than 5 cms wide ) leaves and flowers that look like this... ie similar.... to what what you have .... E. pallida and E. simulata.
I don't remember your earlier submission but here ...in this case I cant see the pollen grain color that is the only way to differentiate Echinacea pallida from E. simulata I quote *"Key to Echinacea in North Carolina* Key adapted from Binns et al.
