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.

Florinda is an expert on plants | Florinda is an expert on plants of the {{g|world}}, and those with special properties which can affect [[Pokémon]]. 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. | ||

She thinks that even with the Evolution Stone, she was not able to [[evolve]] her Gloom because of not {{pkmn|training}} it properly enough, although she has already helped it to develop an antidote for some of the plants that exist in the garden. She reciprocates these confidence issues with her running the nursery. She finds out later that the Leaf Stone she used was fake, upon close scrutiny by [[Brock]] (who, as usual, is smitten over the beautiful Florinda). They find out later on that it was all [[Team Rocket]]'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. | ||

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. | Although Brock had helped her, Florinda's true love was [[Potter]], an employee at the Xanadu Nursery.
