| | Valencia Orange |
 | | Valencia oranges turn golden as they become fully ripe, but as they remain on the tree during warmer weather the orange skin re absorbs chlorophyll from the leaves and it turns green again, beginning at the stem end. |
 | | Sour varieties of oranges have been cultivated since well before the Middle Ages, the sweet ones appearing only in the 15th Century. |
 | | From Southern Asia, the orange spread to Syria, Persia, Italy, Spain and Portugal, and then on a voyage of Columbus, to the West Indies. |
