    This is in reality a biology question given a lot of biology related information is not given in the problem.

    However, I will provide the answer by making biology-related assumptions.

    1. The genotype of the purple-flowered progeny is Pp

    2. The purple-flower phenotype is recessive.

    If self fertilized, both "parents" have genotype Pp

    The punnett square is as follows:

    P p

    P PP Pp

    p Pp pp

    Since purple-flowers are recessive, only PP will come out purple, hence the probability is 1/4.
