Green Thumb/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character has the power to control plants (and/or fungi).
 * Straight: Lily Greene can make plants grow quicker and summon poisonous ivies, vines, and other plants for fighting. And she can make flowers dance.
 * Exaggerated: Lily is literally a giant flower-human hybrid that can grow any plant from anywhere, grow a tiny bud to a tree in an instant, and...
 * Downplayed: Lily can grow plants a few inches taller, but that's about it.
 * Justified:
 * Lily is a fairy whose talent is controlling plants.
 * Lily is a sorceress who specializes in plant-controlling magic.
 * Inverted: Lily is a Walking Wasteland who causes plants (or anything, for that matter) to wither instantly.
 * Subverted: Lily is seen with a group of dancing flowers, but it was the work of her friend Rose. Lily's power is different.
 * Double Subverted: The only difference is that Lily controls aquatic plants.
 * Parodied: There are so many people with Green Thumb that they made a company of workers that makes plants grow quicker, so they can earn more resources.
 * Zig Zagged: ???
 * Averted: No character has power over plants.
 * Enforced: The creator thought a plant-powered character would be a nice change with all the other characters using swords and animal helpers.
 * Lampshaded: "Lily has such an impressive plant power!"
 * Invoked: Lily studies plant-related magic.
 * Exploited: Lily purposely studied plant-related magic because the Big Bad is a Walking Wasteland.
 * Defied: Lily has plant-related power, but refuses to use them in fear of upsetting the balance of the ecosystem.
 * Discussed: "You have plant-controlling powers? Man, you've got to come over and help me with my garden!"
 * Conversed: "You know how in that fantasy series, that girl Lily has plant-controlling powers?"
 * Deconstructed: Lily has amazing plant-controlling powers, but she can't control it well, causing chaos as plants began to grow from odd, unwanted places (like a toilet). Because of this, Lily decides to leave her hometown.
 * Reconstructed: Lily managed to heavily injure the Big Bad with her powers, making it much easier for her teammates to defeat him.
 * Lily wears gloves to control her powers.
