Plants, if your Catholic, came from God. When he made the Earth he made plants, water, animals, rocks, and things of that nature. Then he made man, Adam, and woman, Eve.

Plants, if your not religious, came from soil that fertilized nutrients in the ground which formed into seeds over time. When it rained the seeds grew larger and larger until they grew into plants and trees and such. And they make their own seeds that fall onto the soil making the pattern continue.

Plants, as in house plants, came to be by a farmer, by which we don't know his/her name, by digging a plant out of their soil and watering it and keeping it warm over the non farming season. This turned out quite nicely and now we have such things as house plants.

Flowering plants are called angiosperms and overtime as climate changes plants must adapt and change to the environment. So over millions of years plants will look different.
