There are three types of blood oranges, the Tarocco (native to Italy), the Sanguinello (native to Spain), and the Moro, which is the newest of the three and is grown in San Diego, California.
The Tarocco is a medium-sized fruit and is perhaps the sweetest and most flavorful of the three types. However, its internal reddish color is unreliable.
The Sanguinello, discovered in Spain in 1929, has a reddish skin, few seeds, and a sweet and tender flesh.
The Moro, a recent introduction into the blood orange family, is the most colorful of the three types, with a deep purple flesh and reddish orange rind. This fruit has a sweet flavor with a hint of raspberry.
Blood oranges cultivated in the United States are in season from December to March (Texas), and from November to May (California).
So, try your local natural foods store such as Sun Harvest, or ethnic food market. Some large chains that carry specialty items may have them avalible. If you speak to the produce manager at a large chain store like Super Target, or WalMart, that person may be able to special order them for you. On the West Coast and in the Gulf, when in season, farmer's markets are a great place to look. As for price, I don't know what is reasonable when it comes to these little babies. Just use your best judgement and happy eating.

Higher end (as in "higher priced) grocery stores will usually have them. Whole Foods, QFC out on the West Coast, Wegmans in the East.
Other grocers will have them once in a while, but it's usually a hit or miss thing.
