Orange Flowers

__________________________________________________

Orange symbolizes Autumn, Thanksgiving, Fire, Determination, Compassion, Endurance, and Optimism. Orange is traditionally associated with the autumn season, with the harvest and autumn leaves. The flowers, like orange fruits and vegetables and autumn leaves, get their colour from the photosynthetic pigments called carotenes.
