Other Notes	Jack-in-the-Green is a springtime sprite, responsible for making sure plants grow and bloom at the right time. With civilization taking away more and more forest every year, Jack gets sadder, yet more determined to ensure that what plantlife is allowed to exist flourishes. His ability to communicate with, even become, plants helps him reclaim nature's place. And his ability to turn others into plants could help those so magicked become sympathetic to the needs and plight of plants. The story might be from the point of view of one so enchanted.
