Eplants02,
My vote would go to U. dichotoma. Mine is growing like a weed despite being dried, burned, and moved across country. Other good bets that I have experience with are U. sandersonii, and U. tricolor. I have also heard that U. unifolia is super easy. If you are interested I has the first three, you can contact me if you would like a trade or something.

Some of the easiest species to get to flower are andersonii, livida and bisquamata. They will flower soon after planting and will keep flowering over long periods of time. When the flowering slows down, start a new colony with a small piece of the old one.
Other interesting species that will flower given the opportunity are U dichotoma, U. flaccida (large yellow flowers, an 18 inch branching inflorescence), U welwitschii (tightly twining inflorescence with many pink, yellow and white flowers), U. tridentata (medium size pink flowers with a yellow palate.
Of course some of the more unusual species may be hard to find.
You may also want to try the easy Genlisea species G. hispidula and violacea.

Flint,
U. dichotoma and U. unifolia both have purpleish flowers. A few of the epiphytic species have purple or pink/purple (U. longifolia, U. humboldtii, etc.) U. menziesii, and U. campbelliana both have red flowers but I have heard that they are extremly difficult to grow.

You can order U. menziesii from Allen Lowrie, but it's a bastard to keep alive.
I would think the easiest species of utric to grow would have to be Bisquamata. The betties bay giant is a nice form. Uniflora and Dichotoma are relativley easy with larger flowers. Subulata is so easy that once you get it you will wish you hadn't! It will spread to every pot in your greenhouse! Sounds good but it can choke smaller CP's like the pygmie sundews.
Flint, I just bought a Utric called Biloba. It had a single flower stalk wich had a small intense dark purple/blue flower on it.
