The iteration of L-system has been used to animate the plant growth but at each time step of development the plant model is not smooth and continuous. This paper proposes an animating plant growth in L-system by parametric functional symbols to the length, size and position of each compo-nent of the plant. The developments of plant growth seems to be smoother and more natural as well as realistic. This prototype can be used to generate the realistic model of any plant based on bracketed L-system.
