Flying Imps, Octopi, Wizard spells, etc. That might not happen as the spells aren't in a state of matter to be deflected.. although, I think bones might get deflected. She doesn't have to deflect the spells, but rather protect the plants around her from being affected by the lightning bolts. If you think this won't happen because it doesn't make sense, give me a break. This is the worst excuse, considering all the stuff that's happening in PvZ2. Umbrella Leaf can simply act as an... umbrella when confronted with spells.

This is what she should defend plants from if she's going to be added:

As I see it, the Umbrellla Leaf will not deflect anything in the current game.
 * Bones
 * Imps (that are about to land)
 * Prospectors (that are about to land)
 * Spells
 * Surfboards
 * Octopi

The Imps not because he couldn't do that in the first game, I don't see why suddenly will do now. Maybe the Prospector.

Now the next ones I consider them as they are programmed in the game and not because the real logic.

The spells are not a solid projectile, rather is just an animation for the Wizard Zombie, so can't be deflected.

The Bones also are not solid and can't be deflected.

The surfboards are an instant kill to the plants.

The octopi are not a solid projectile too.

The Umbrella deflects projectiles (and the Bungee Zombie) that actually damage the plants, this means that the projectiles can "touch" the plants, but none of the previous one can't damage the plants, except the surfboards, but I don't see how can be deflected. This is not about logic. Blover can blow imps although he couldn't in pvz1.
