They usually send them up during summer, in my experience. Weaker pitchers in the spring, and stout pitchers in the fall.
And they'll grow nothing but phyllodia if unhappy. I can believe a move would be enough to cause it. But those'll do lots of photosynthesizing and the plant should be ready for its awesome fall pitchers.
it cant be un happy its flowering
Many plants will bloom in response to stress - it is a last-ditch effort to reproduce by an organism that thinks it may die.
