This is quite normal - at least it is for UK grown plants!

Species such as S. flava will be entering dormancy within the next month
or so. S. leucophylla, S. alata and S. rubra tend to produce a second
flush of pitchers at this time of year. The later pitchers tend to be
much larger and stockier (and generally more impressive IMO) than those
produced in the spring/summer period.
