Three things which are orange:

1. Citrus fruits

I do like the smaller orange citrus fruits: satsumas, tangerines, etc.  When the kids were at home I used to sometimes make trifle with orange jelly and tinned mandarin slices, which was really nice.


2. Marigolds

And lots of other small orange flowers, plus roses.  So bright and cheerful.


3. Ginger cats (and goldfish)

At one point we had two cats - farm kittens, brothers who shared a brain.  One was ginger and the other was ginger and white.  Our previous cat had been extremely intelligent, this pair were useless - although one of them did manage to catch the neighbour's goldfish, which it brought home and we'd rescue the fish and send it back in a bucket of water.  To be accurate our son was sent back with the fish.


Fanfics I've written with orange:

Not many come to mind, so I will use the 60 word ficlets written for sherlock60 due to the ACD short story The Five Orange Pips
