Are my Bulb Hyacinth going to seed?

I moved to zone 6 in 2001 (from FL) and bulb gardening is new to me.

Our hyacinths apparently multiplied or something (this was their 2nd blooming season) as we had alot more bloom this year. Now some of the dead flowers seem to be getting seeds ... a green bulbous thing is forming behind many of the dead flowerheads.

Are these seeds? If so, how and when do I plant them?
