Parachute Flower

Parachute Flowers are instant-use, environment-modifying plants that summon a temporary platform that raises plants atop it away from danger.
== Overview ==
When a Parachute Flower is planted on a tile, it will detach from its top half and disappear. The top half serves as a platform where plants can be planted on. Here, the plants and the platform cannot be eaten, and zombies simply walk under it. However, the plant can still attack the zombies.
This platform only lasts for a minute. Before that time, it will slowly lower to the ground. After 30 seconds, taller zombies, such as robots or Gargantuars, can attack the plant on top of the platform. After a minute, the platform is on the ground, and both it and the plant can be eaten. Using a Blover will raise the platform back up to its highest state. Using a Hurrikale on the same row as a Parachute Platform will push the platform forward. This still raises the platform back up, however. Flying zombies, such as Jetpack Zombie and Seagull Zombie, can attack an elevated plant at any time. Any blocking plant on the platform can block thrown imps, flying zombies, and zombie projectiles, similar to Tall-nuts.
Parasol Zombie blocks any projectile from an elevated plant.
Rooted plants, as well as plants that change a tile (Tile Turnip, Gold Leaf), cannot be placed on a platform. Neither can another Parachute Flower.
Parachute Flower is based off of the Ceropegia genus, specifically the Ceropegia distincta var haygarthii, which has a common name of the parachute flower.
== Plant Food Ability ==
Plant Food cannot be used on the platform.
== Strategies ==
Parachute Flower is most effective when its used alongside powerful but vulnerable plants, such as those with a cooldown. Parachute Flower can help keep these heavy-hitters out of harm's way until they are ready to attack again. Note that the platform is temporary, so you'll need to upkeep a constant flow of Parachute Flowers if your strategy relies on them..
Parachute Flower is a necessities in cloudy worlds (specifically my upcoming World of Heights). In these stages, the platform is permanent when used above pits, and Parachute Flower only costs 25 to 0 suns.
