জার্বেরা মূলত বিদেশী ফুল হলেও আমাদের দেশের অনেক অফিস আদালতের সামনে শোভা বর্ধন করতে এই ফুলকে দেখা যায়... এখনও এত ঢালাও ভাবে বাগানে শখ করে এই ফুলের লালন পালন শুরু হয়ে উঠে নাই আমাদের দেশে... ফুলের দোকান গুলোয প্রচুর দেখা যায় জার্বেরা বিক্রি করতে... শাড়ি পরা মেযেদের চুলের খোপায় গুজে থাকা জার্বেরা ফুল আমার অসম্ভব ভালো লাগে...
