From what I understand (Red banana) it is actually Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelli', but the same goes: The pseudostem will die, and hopefully seeds will be formed. If you're lucky however it will produce new shoots after flowering, I think Maurelli is able to do that right?
Another issue: If you sow the seeds, most will be the normal green form of Ensete ventricosum, and not the red Maurelli.
Kind regards and yes: congratulations with your magnificent flower!
