Satsuma Mandarin Oranges -Natures Decor








Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? Well, yes, I'm sure you have, but these little gems are pretty beautiful! The color is stunning. I spotted these in Hannaford and had to buy a few. And as usual Joe waited patiently while I searched for the ones with the best leaves. Did you know the mandarin orange is a Chinese symbol of abundance and good fortune? They are often used as decor or given as gifts! And no, I did not know this random fact off the top of my head. I was looking up types of mandarin oranges on wikipedia because I couldn't remember what kind these were. Well, I hope they taste as good as they look!
