Fragrant citrus blooms
Orange blossoms are the fragrant white flowers of the orange tree, traditionally associated with weddings and bridal bouquets.
The flowers symbolize purity, fertility, and good fortune in marriage—a connection dating to their use in Mediterranean wedding customs.
Orange blossom water, distilled from the petals, flavors Middle Eastern and Mediterranean pastries and drinks.
