However, the environment is not only for greening, it should be more colorful. Planting is the main landscape element affects the landscape preference. Plants may also be seasonal variation for showing plentiful color to get more attention. With vision advantage, we contact different colors in our daily life, and produce different changes and visual enjoyment. Our psychological impact of color, resulting in a variety of different feelings and associations, arouses the strong emotions. In addition to the color of flower, color of leaf also has the similar effect. For understanding if there are significant differences of physiological and psychological effects in different colors of plant and ratios of flower to leaf, the study implemented two experiments wich used photo simulation technique to create images of African Violet and Petunia showed them to our respondents. The results showed that in the part of physiology effect, alpha wave, the blue African Violet and differenet area ratios of Petunia had the best effects in alpha wave. In terms of heart rate, because of blue having benefit of stimulates thinking blue African Violet, 50% area ratios of yellow and purple Petunia had the best effects. Vivacious-interesting of psychological effect, prominent color perception that warm colours had the best effects in area ratios of 50% and 75%. Peaceful-comfortable of psychological effect, the results showed that blue had relaxed and calm characteristics which let the area ratios of 25% blue African Violet had the best effects, area ratios of 25% white Petunia had the best effects. Beautiful-delightful of psychological effect, the results showed that area ratios of 50% red African Violet and area ratios of 25% white Petunia had the best effects. Melancholy-confusing of psychological effect, the results showed that blue African Violet and purple Petunia of cool colours had the best effects. The highest preference scores are both area ratios of 50% in red African and pink Petunia . By the research results, the flower-leaf area ratio is also an important influencing factor on physiological and psychological effects except different plant colors. Therefore, when we design the landscape environment we should control the benefit and color characteristics of plant. The planting environment can bring more comfortable and pleasant environment.
