Full Pink Moon

The April full moon is called the Full Pink Moon.
According to the Farmer's Almanac, the name comes from the herb
moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the Spring.


Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.
