This paper has made a comprehensive and in-depth investigation to domestic researches about plant image. Combining with statistics analysis, this paper summarizes the features of the research situation. The outlook of the study on plant image has been made. Based on the limitations of existing research and the potential value to Ornamental Plants and Horticulture's development, this paper carries the system research on plant image, the general phenomenon of plant culture.First,"Plant image" is given a scientific and rational demonstration through discussing the concept of "Image" and analyzing the domain of "Plant image"."Plant image" is the physical image of plant which has some meaning.
