Florinda owns the [[Xanadu Nursery]], after inheriting it from her still living parents. She takes care of the plants there, and gives them her utmost attention and care. She has very long purple hair and bright amethyst eyes. She wears a yellow, almost gown-like sun dress and a green jacket on top.
Florinda owns the [[Xanadu Nursery]], after inheriting it from her parents. She takes care of the plants there, and gives them her utmost attention and care. She is also an expert on plants of the [[Pokémon world]], and those with special properties that can affect {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She cares very much for her plants, declaring that they are like "children" to her, and cares as much for her Gloom. Since she runs the Nursery for her parents, she feels that they expect a lot from her, thus giving her a few confidence issues. She is very sweet and gentle, but too self-pitying. Her employee is [[Potter]], who she has a crush on and who has a crush on her, though both are unaware of each other's feelings.


Florinda is an expert on plants of the [[Pokémon world]], and those with special properties which can affect {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She cares very much for her plants, declaring that they are like "children" to her, and cares as much for her Gloom. Since she runs the Nursery for her parents, she feels that they expect a lot from her, thus giving her a few confidence issues. She is very sweet and gentle, but too self-pitying.  
Her confidence issues seem to have begun when she tried using a [[Leaf Stone]] on her {{p|Gloom}}. She thought that even with the Evolution Stone, she was not able to [[evolution|evolve]] her Gloom because of not {{pkmn|training}} it properly enough, although she already helped it develop an antidote for some of the plants that exist in the garden. She reciprocated these confidence issues with her running the nursery. She later discovered that the Leaf Stone she used was fake, upon close scrutiny by {{an|Brock}}, who had become smitten with her. They then realized that it was {{TRT}}'s doing, though Florinda blamed herself for being so gullible, even calling herself useless.

She finds out later that the Leaf Stone she used was fake, upon close scrutiny by {{an|Brock}} (who, as usual, is smitten over the beautiful Florinda). They find out later on that it was all {{TRT}}'s doing, but then, Florinda blames herself too much for being so gullible, even going to the extent that she says that she's useless.
She had trained her Gloom well enough and thoroughly properly, though, and she realized her potential when Team Rocket stole [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} everyone except for her and her Gloom with Stun Stem, a plant located in the nursery. With some encouragement from Brock, Florinda gathered the confidence she needed to defeat Team Rocket and save Pikachu. Afterwards, she learns of Potter's feelings for her and reciprocates them, much to Brock's dismay.
 
She had trained her Gloom well enough and thoroughly properly, though, and much better than she thought she had. She finally realized her potential when Team Rocket started making off with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and everyone except for her and her Gloom had been afflicted by Stun Stem, a plant located in the nursery that {{Status|Paralysis|Paralyzed}} everyone. Along with some encouragement from Brock, Florinda gathered the confidence she needed to defeat Team Rocket and save Pikachu.
 
Although Brock had helped her, Florinda's true love was [[Potter]], an employee at the Xanadu Nursery. She asked if he wanted to help her manage it, and he agreed, both realizing that they had fallen in love with each other. This portion also contained a funny scene, in which Brock is anguished by Florinda's declaration of love to Potter. Since Brock helped Florinda regain her confidence, he naturally thought that he had won the affection of Florinda, but it actually did not happen.
 
Potter and Florinda now manage the Xanadu Nursery, working hand-in-hand to take care of the plants contained within it.
 
After her Gloom cured [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] from an encounter with some of the plants, the two seemed to develop a certain affection for each other, with Bulbasaur rubbing against and licking Gloom and Gloom clearly blushing, but nothing apparently came of it.

It was revealed that its owner wanted to [[Evolution|evolve]] it with a [[Leaf Stone]], but it did not work; the Leaf Stone turned out to be fake.


Suddenly {{TRT}} attack, using a powder from the Stun Stem to stop the group except from Florinda and Gloom. Gloom confronts Team Rocket as they send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, Gloom can't see anything from the smoke Weezing caused and uses {{m|Double Team}} confusing them. It then finishes them off with a {{m|Solar Beam}} sending them blasting off.
When {{TRT}} attacked, using a powder made from the Stun Stem to stop the group, Florinda and Gloom were the only ones unaffected. Gloom confronted Team Rocket as they sent out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Gloom initially couldn't see anything from the smoke Weezing caused, but it used {{m|Double Team}} to confuse them. It then finished them off with a {{m|Solar Beam}}, sending them blasting off.


It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.
