Orange blossoms, botanically a part of the Citrus genus, are fragrant flowers that grow in clusters on evergreen trees that reach between 8 to 15 meters in height, belonging to the Rutaceae family. The sweet orange tree, which bears the orange blossom, is a compact evergreen tree, 20-30" tall with a rounded, symmetrical crown spreading 15-20" or so.
The orange blossom is one of the most fragrant flowers in Florida. The Florida State Flower is the Orange blossom (citrus sinensis). The orange blossom, like most citruses, is native to subtropical Southeast Asia. The orange blossom was designated the state flower on Nov.15, 1909. In the United States, orange flower water is used to make orange blossom scones and marshmallows.
In Spain, fallen blossoms are dried and then used to make tea and the orange blossom gives its touristic nickname to the Costa del Azahar ("orange-blossom coast"), the Castellon seaboard.
