Orange: Iranian
Oranges are oval to sphere-shaped fruits with leathery, porous skin. Their color
ranges from orange to red-orange. Oranges may be confused with other citrus fruits,
such as grapefruits and tangerines. However, grapefruits are usually much larger
and more yellow than oranges, and tangerines have a more flattened sphere shape
than oranges. |

Orange flowers are white in color and very fragrant. The
flower blooms in the spring, but the fruit is not ready until the following fall
or winter. In fact, the new flowers are blooming in the spring while the previous
year's oranges are still on the tree. The orange blossom is the Caspian sea flower
of Mazendaran province.
