ORANGES and other Orange Citrus Fruit

Ryan stanley64 @beryllium Guy

Regarding my butterfly question, this is one of a few with differing Latin names commonly referred to as Citrus Butterflies.
When their eggs are laid on the citrus leaves, when maturing at the larvae stage, they dine on the leaves.
They have been known to strip a tree of all its leaves and raise havoc within the orchard. Quite destructive.

Looks like Beryllium Guy got the closest.

Jeff you never stop.......good to have you as a member

love oranges and other fruits

I thought I had replied to this post but I apparently failed to hit the Create Post button.  I have an example and the fragrance is quite weak. What about yours?

Jaffa oranges = Jaffa Cakes!  YUM

I see on that Wikipedia article that the term "Jaffa Cakes" was never trademarked so there are many manufacturers out there apart from the original British snacks, which clears up the mystery as to why the Jaffa Cakes I can buy here come from Bosnia Serbia, of all places ... no matter, they're still tasty and I ate an entire package with my tea last night.  YUM again

(Correction made as I'm eating another package tonight ....)

Hi JeffS That is a nice thematic display . As a fellow enthusiast for "telling a story" I really appreciate the diversity of your pages and going out of the box with a medal and some nice postal history . I found I wanted to use postcards and the like in my " "Counterblaste to Tobacco" exhibit only to be told that some of it did not fit the strict thematic exhibiting rules . So was I delighted when the great powers of international exhibiting decided on a class called Open Philately or Social philately where up to 40% of non stamp material can be included. Great stuff .

You probably have thought some of the following left of field connections , but how about

1 The Royal house of Orange , the Dutch royal family ,
2 King William of Orange who was chosen for the British Throne in 1688 when James VII was deposed .
3 The Ulster Irish "Loyal Orange Order " who celebrate King William's Victory at the Battle of the Boyne 1688 every 12th July with marching parades
4 The Dutch national football (soccer) team plays in Orange shirts
5 The Orange free state issues of South Africa before the 1910 Union
6 The town of Orange in France appears on at least one stamp

I could go on …………………………….Nice

Ryan - I guess I now must find out about Jaffa cakes!

An exceedingly important point, as taken from the notes on the legal case surrounding the VAT status of Jaffa Cakes in the UK:

"The product hardens when stale, in the manner of a cake."

Therefore, I always EAT THE ENTIRE PACKAGE IN ONE SITTING when I have some.  I made the sad mistake one time of only eating half of them, leaving the second helping for the next night, and was very sad at the dry state of my cakes that second evening.

Also, those Serbian knock-offs I buy can sometimes be found in cherry flavour, of which I am equally fond.
