The Citrus sinensis trees are a part of the Rutaceae family. They are medium-size with greenish-brown bark and spines on the branches; they grow well under the sun. The fruit is smaller than the ordinary orange from the grocery with blots of red on the skin.

The exact origin of Citrus sinensis is not well knownm as it does not grow wild globally. It is believed to be a hybrid of the Mandarin Plant and Pummelo. Perfect for calming down any nervous apprehensions, the flowers of the Blood Orange are commonly used in bridal bouquets and wreaths to avoid those pre-wedding jitters.
