Creating a Submit button

I'm having trouble placing the submit button tag. I keep getting an error telling me to place it within the form. What step am I missing?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>


      <label for="color">Shirt Color</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="blue">Blue</option>
        <option value="green">Green</option>
        <option value="orange">Orange</option>
         <button type="submit>Place Order</button>
        </form>

  </body>
</html>

You are missing an end quote on "submit"

your select tag needs to be closed before the final option tag.
