Skulls On Both Faces
High definition printing covers both faces, so the skulls and skeletons read correctly whether a neighbor is walking up the path or looking back from the sidewalk. A single sided flag shows a mirror image half the time, which ruins lettering. Here the detail in the floral work and the musical skeletons holds up at a few steps away rather than blurring.
Rain, Sun And Wind
The fabric is polyester treated to shed water and resist fading, which is what a flag needs through late October and early November. Sun does not bleach the oranges and pinks out of the sugar skulls over a season on a south facing lawn, and rain runs off rather than soaking in and sagging the panel between the sleeve and the hem.
Beside A Family Altar
The flag is often used away from the lawn. Set in a planter at the end of an ofrenda, or stood next to candles, photographs and marigolds, it marks the display without taking table space from the offerings. Families who visit a cemetery carry it in a bag and set it in the ground beside a grave for the afternoon, then take it home.
Sleeve Over Any Stand
The top sleeve is sewn wide enough for the usual garden hardware: a shepherd hook, a bracket on a post, an arbor crossbar or a stand pushed into a bed. Hanging it takes a few seconds and no tools. Twelve by eighteen inches is the standard garden size, so a stand bought for a summer flag takes this one without adjustment.
