April is known for its showers and ever-warming temperatures, but it is also known as a month when spring flowers begin to show up. Herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. As the name infers, the flowers are pink in color, thus the name for April's full moon.
This pink moon has also been called: 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.
According to the Farmers' Almanac, this year's full pink moon will take place on April 20th at 6:25 am EDT.
