Answer:

Pp, PP

Step-by-step explanation:

Purple: P

White: p

Purple flowers can still carry the white flower trait, that's how their offspring gets it. Since this offspring is purple, the dominant trait is present and will always show over the recessive trait. So of you get a purple flower the possible genotypes are PP and Pp, if you have a white flower the possible genotypes are only pp. :)
