John,
Its very normal for S. alata, S. leucophylla and S. rubra ssps. In fact
these species produce their largest and most spectacular pitchers now.
Other species are not normally known for late summer/autumn pitchering.
S. flava hardly ever does - excpet that I have noticed S. flava sending
up new pitchers this year. Strange! It must be something to do with the
odd weather we've had this year.
Regards,
