From left to right: sanquinelli, moro, and tarocco from my house in Beaumont,TX



Best colored and tastiest sanguinelli. Nice tartness that the other two lack.

Not much orange in the peel on any. Mandarins and page are nicely colored up.

The sanguinelli would make a nice red juice.

Wow, they sure aren't colored up much, inside or out. Amazing how climate can make such a difference. None of my blood oranges are ripe, yet, but when they are, my Moro's are almost black inside. I should have a few Smith Red Valencia's this year, so will be interested to see how pigmented they are, and how their quality stands up to my other blood oranges. No Sanguilnelli this year, poor tree really suffered with Phytophthora and with my last winter's freeze, so no fruit this year.

Very cool contrast with the green and pink/red thing going. It's hard to believe those things are ripe with such green peels!

My Cara Cara's are ripe and look like a pink grapefruit inside.
