<small>''This page is about the Orange '''(fruit)''' For the orange '''(color)''' see'' [[Orange_(color)]].</small>

An '''orange''' is a citrus [[fruit]] that grows on trees, is juicy, and high in [[vitamin C]]. Juice from the orange is also a popular drink, and is often served with [[breakfast]]. Oranges were introduced to [[Florida]], where orange trees frequently dot the landscape, by [[Juan Ponce de Leon]] in the 16th century. Oranges were also grown in great swathes across [[California]] in [[Orange County, California|Orange county]] and the Napa Valley area; however, larger oranges grown elsewhere removed the market for these fruits<ref>http://inlandorange.org/Article_ValenciaSeason.html</ref> and many of these orange groves have disappeared. The [[orange blossom]] is the [[state flower]] of [[Florida]]. <ref>http://www.usna.usda.gov/Gardens/collections/statetreeflower.html</ref>
