KEEP OFF THE DIRIGIBLE PLUMS
-- Sign in front of the Lovegood's House (DH20)
Dirigible plums are a small orange fruit growing near the Lovegood house.
Luna wears these as earrings (OP13), probably because they are said to help a person accept the unusual (DH20). Harry thinks Luna’s dirigible plum earrings look like “orange radishes” (OP13)
