Default Removing Sarracenia flowers

Hello

I had my Sarracenias in the fridge over winter and potted them up about 2 weeks ago. Some of them are growing flower buds before they are growing any pitchers. Should I remove these flower buds in this situation as I thought the plant may have not had much time to gain strength yet?

The plants are mature plants about 3 years old but they did not have a good growing season last year as I bought them from a different climate and they produced deformed pitchers. I was advised to put them in the fridge to make them aware what season it was as a grower suggested that the plants may have been confused what season it was before.

I had my plants in semi shade since taking them out of the fridge and am only just putting them in the sun now.

Your help is appreciated
Regards Richard.
