Display an Item for certain categories

  • Hi, I want to display a banner image for different categories and this thing does not work. A error “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in…” 

    <?php if (is_category('3') ):
 // we're in the Plants category, so show a plant ?>
 <img src='/images/plant.png' alt='a plant' />
<?php } elseif (is_category('4') ):
 // we're in the Flowers category, so show a flower ?>
 <img src='/images/flower.png' alt='a pretty flower' />
<?php endif; // end the if, no images for other other categories ?>

    Need help. Thanks
