Florabundacus is a flower monster and the primary villain of the episode "Nowhere to Grow".

History

Florabundacus first had the Kelzaks plant her seeds to unleash her evil vines throughout Blue Bay Harbor. The Power Rangers came in and caught the Kelzaks, so the Kelzaks tried to escape. But the Rangers morphed and while they did battle with the Kelzaks, Florabundacus captures the Red Ranger, who did battle with her, but he was quickly defeated. She took out the Yellow and Blue Rangers before retreating.

Marah and Kapri had manage to lure Dustin and Tori into a trap for Florabundacus to feed her Sudima Plant. She tells the girls to handle Dustin and Tori while she goes down to the basement to check on her "children" and laughs of her plan to grow a massive rose-like monster that will take over the world.

Tori and Dustin escape and went down the basement, where they find the plants, but they get caught by Florabundacus herself and the two Rangers morphed and were about to battle the plant monster, but the Sudima Plant had grown and took the two Rangers captive.

Shane morphed and came to the rescue, but the Hawk Blaster had no effect on the vines. Cam then downloaded the upgrade for Shane to power up his sword and destroy the Sudima Plant, freeing Dustin and Tori.

Annoyed that her plans had been foiled, the monster took on the Rangers herself and had the upper hand until the Rangers tricked her and use their Ninja Swords on her, weakening her enough for them to use the Storm Striker to destroy her.

Florabundacus was enlarged by the Scroll of Empowerment, so the Rangers use the Storm Megazord to battle her. They used the Storm Megazord's Lightning Mode and the Blizzard Flurry to weaken her before unleashing the Power Sphere 1: The Serpent Sword. With the Serpent Sword's Triple Strike, the monster was finally finished for good. TV STORY-Nowhere to Grow

Notes

• Florabundacus is the first monster in Lothor's army to be female although her counterpart was male.
  • This was presumably changed because flowers are commonly associated with females in the western world. In places like Japan, they are seen as more of a gender neutral product for both males and females.
    • This is not the first time though since Octoplant from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had a similar situation.
• Florabundacus is very similar to Vilevine, a monster from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.
  • Both monsters are plant-themed.
  • Both have the ability to shoot vines out of their fingers.
  • Both monsters have similar plans.
• In the video game for Game Boy Advance, Florabundacus' name is misspelled as "Florabudacus".
