Plant Identification & Seeds ?

Hello
Hoping someone can help identify the following. Also, are those seeds? If so, how does one use them? Do you do something before they die / turn brown? Does it matter?

| That's a Heliconia; could be one of a handful of species or one of dozens of hybrids. I think what your arrow is pointing to is a developing fruit ("seed pod"). No actual seeds yet. And maybe, if it's a hybrid, there won't be any. Joe |

| Do they become seeds? The reason I ask is that I planted a few of these and they are multiplying like crazy - - everywhere!! Not that I mind because I like them but I was just wondering how they are multiplying so quickly. |

Hi,
From the way you wrote that, I'm going to assume that you haven't had the plants for very long. So re-seeding would not be the problem. I think it that you have a kind that likes to send out a lot of runners. Meaning they have underground roots that travel a short distance, and then send up a new plant. This can be nice to fill an area quickly, but it can be a nuisance in the wrong area since they will choke out less aggressive plants.
