Folklore:
Since ancient times Orange trees have been saturated in meaning and mystery. Throughout the centuries, they can be seen peeking out from the corners of paintings and often a popular accessory to our favorite tales of myth and folklore. Beginning with the classical tale of Hesperides, in which the Orange tree and its fruit were featured predominantly in the art-world; tracing back to the Greek legends.
Oranges have a conflicted history as symbols, both naughty and nice. In several cultures - socially speaking - oranges exchanged among the unmarried were a subtle way of saying, “Let love blossom.” In Greek mythology, they had ties to fertility and innocence. In Victorian times, orange blossoms were used for garlands, bouquets, and tiaras for brides as symbols of youth, purity, and eternal love. Conversely, oranges also epitomized lust, seductive powers, passion, and flamboyance.
In Eastern history, Orange trees have come to symbolize prosperity and happiness. The Chinese word for tangerine stems from the word “luck,” and the word for an orange sounds similar to the word “wealth.” Even today in China and Japan, bright orange fruits are used to adorn homes and shops to welcome the coming year with good fortune!

Origin and History:
The orange originated in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. The earliest mention of the sweet orange was in Chinese literature in 314 BC. However some b
otanists believe that citrus trees have been around for 20 million years, native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia it has a romantic and storied past.
As of 1987,
orange trees were found to be the most cultivated fruit tree in the world.
For many many centur
ies at least to eat one was considered divine. Tearing one open released a spray of juice as fragrant as the most delicate flower and as uplifting to food as spicy peppers. Everyone who saw oranges and tasted them, wanted them.
In 1542, the word orange was used for the first time in English to describe the color (it had previously been known by the Old English geoluhread, for “yellow-red”), a testament to oranges’ burgeoning popularity. In the 17th century, the nobility in England developed a passion for the exotic fruit. It became in vogue to have your own orangery, housed in a rudimentary greenhouse, as a means of flaunting wealth.
Oranges and other sun-coloured citrus fruits can be found in portraits and still life paintings throughout the centuries. In the Baroque era, this exotic fruit was popularly associated with the high social status of noble men and women. The Orange became a symbol of their prosperity as it suggested great wealth, dreamy destinations and far-off lands.
