This situation is an example of incomplete dominance. When Both purple flowers (Bb) will breed then the percentages of their offspring will be as follow:

25% red (BB)

25% blue (bb)

50% purple (Bb)

The explanation can be seen through a punnett square where you can come up to an answer of 1 (BB); 2 (Bb); and 1 (bb).
