Abstract: The digitization and visualization of flower plants’ morphology, structure and growth process are important research contents of modern forestry research. Digital flower plants have a wide range of applications and demands in science, education and display. Holographic, the cutting-edge technology, whose principle is derived from ‘Pepper’s ghost’ phenomenon. It is usually used to display fabricated images, enabling the integration of digital visions and the real world. It has of fairly appreciable visual effect and high user acceptance. The combination of holographic technology and digital flower plants can enhance the visualization of digital flower plants, thus achieving better effects in display, education and exhibition occasions. Based on what has been achieved, the holographic visualization of digital flower plants is the focus of study in this paper, which, in combination with an interactive system facilitates the design of a set of processes that is characteristic of visuality and interactiveness. Thus it is a feasible scheme capable of carrying out in-depth research on digital flower plants, providing implications for further study on digital plants and related applications.
