    I love the color orange, especially when it is a cantaloupe orange with a pink hue...Sky here was lit up in orange last night.

    Mesmerizing.

    blackberries, raspberries good wine sweet sue, here's to the girls of the country side, the one's we're drinking to.

    if its got seeds in it, its the fruiting body of the plant, even if it grows on a bush or something smaller.

    which interestingly enough, citrus can produce from bush like forms. had a lemon bush in the back yard one place where i lived.

    definitely a bush, though i guess you could call it a dwarf tree, but there's was nothing tree like and everything bush like about its size and from,
    and it prolifically produced lemons by the ton. and the ones that didn't get picked turned an orange looking color, before they rotted entirely and fell off.

    I believe the distinction between a shrub and a tree is horticultural rather than botanical. In other words, I don't think there's a difference in hard scientific terms.

    I stopped eating them because they make your hands and face all messy and sticky, but I like the taste

    This is my feeling on oranges. I like them if I am eating them, but never really buy then or go out of my way to eat them. But when I think about them, I'm like...meh.

    I stopped eating them because doctor said so. Odd huh? But maybe they are really bad for inflammation, and I'm on an anti inflammatory diet...or at least supposed to be. Ahhh!

    true enough, a plant is a plant is a plant, and not an animal nor a mineral. the green parts separate the oxygen out of the carbon compounds we exhale and give back what nearly all animals on our planet need to breath. providing edible portions is more of a side line for them.

    You'd have to be one hell of a lawyer to convince a jury that this is not true
