Kusha grass

[John C. Huntington]

I am not sure of what you mean by ripe, with full seeds heads?

Growing it is a medium green, cut and dried as it is in most rituals  
and in most basketry it is a light golden straw color.

You can see the dried version at:

  the color is quite good in these pphotographs
