Why are my Washington Navel Oranges white?

(1/2) > >>

Daintree:
I just picked my Washington navel oranges.  Some split, so I picked them all.
The skin is a light yellow/green.  The flesh is pure white, like a white grapefruit.
They taste super sweet and are extremely juicy, but have a very slightly bitter after-taste.
My bergamot oranges were very pale also.
The cara cares are not ripe yet.
The lemons, limes and finger limes always come out really well, but these are my first batches of oranges.

What did I do wrong?  They are in my greenhouse with the other citrus.

Thanks!

citrange:
Can you post some photos of tree, leaves and fruit?
Any possibility that the trees are not actually Washington Navels?

Millet:
was this tree i a freeze?

Daintree:
Thanks guys!
Yes, I can post pics first thing in the morning. May have been mislabeled. I got it from the same place that sold me a "Meyer" lemon that turned out to be a Yen Ben.
No chance of a freeze. It is in my orangerie, which never gets lower than 40.

Daintree:
Here is what was supposed to be a Washington Navel Orange.
Thoughts?  I did check, and the trunk is definitely above the graft.
The leaves look different than my palestine sweet lime, and this "orange" has long, straight thorns.
