Since Blorenge is a place name, it technically isn't a "word" that rhymes with orange; however, the OED does give a semi-rhyming word for orange:
sporange (pronounced "spuh-RANJ", not "SPOR-inj" as in "orange"), a somewhat obsolete synonym for "sporangium" (a small sac that produces or carries spores)
