It seems that your pitchers became a little sunburnt. The sun can be very
strong in this time of year (as it was last week and the week before in the
Netherlands), so the air humidity behind glass can drop too low for just
emerging pitchers. The solution is to keep the humidity higher or (maybe
easier) to protect the plants for the strongest sun .
