What is the flower I see along the highway in Cincinnati Ohio, tall, round and purple?

The top is round like a ball, I have only seen it driving along and can't stop (the area does not allow). I would guess it to be over 2-3 feet tall, thick stem and the diameter of the flower (?) top to be 2-3 inches...

my guess is alium, which is in fact an onion. It is a wildflower that thrives in dry environments (side of the highway) They have wonderful purple ball like flowers that sit 2-3 feet tall. Here is a link to a picture of an alium from google images. photo credits to kristen cooke. http://www.kirstencooke.co.uk/photos/flo...
