My instructions were to add a label above the radio group, I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

I put in the exact same code I used while following the video, how am I wrong?

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">      

      <label>Shirt Size:</label>  

      <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
      <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size"> 
      <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size"> 

        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="purple">Purple</option>
        <option value="blue">Blue</option>
        <option value="green">Green</option>
        <option value="orange">Orange</option>


      </select>



      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Yes sir, you put the label and radio options inside of the select menu. As soon as you move the <label>Shirt Size</label> and its corresponding radio buttons outside of that select menu, you are good to go! Good luck.

The challenge should have stopped you at task 1. The instructions are:

After the select menu, create a radio button

This means after the closing select tag.
