Green Lanterns Chilean Lantern Tree

In previous years my Chilean lantern tree has had numerous red lanterns as you’d expect. This year however, nearly all the lanterns are green. They are gradually opening to reveal the seeds so apart from the colour are behaving normally. Why are they green ? And will this continue year on year? I can’t find anything online with regard to this!
