Having had the joy of coming across the stalks on a mountain hike with my uncle, I recognize it by its glorious purplish reddish ripe cane. Not enough green leaves to hide anyone at that stage, however.

Oh, and it helped that he carried a machete with him

But, yes, there was symbolism in it being sugar cane grasses.
