When taking outdoor macro photography, how can i prevent the flash from going off?

I took some macro shots of flowers today with an extension tube and the flash on my camera went off even though I was outside. How can I turn off the flash on my camera? I have a Canon EOS.

I take photos of purple flowers but they turn out blue in the digital photos. What can I do to remedy this?
