Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) is a nature inspired algorithm based on pollination process of plants. Recently, FPA has become a popular algorithm in the evolutionary computation field due to its superiority to many other algorithms. As a consequence, in this paper, FPA, its improvements, its hybridization and applications in many fields, such as operations research, engineering and computer science, are discussed and analyzed. Based on its applications in the field of optimization it was seemed that this algorithm has a better convergence speed compared to other algorithms. The survey investigates the difference between FPA versions as well as its applications. To add to this, several future improvements are suggested.
