🌕 Full Moon (Sprouting Grass Moon)

The Maine Farmers’ Almanac began publishing “Indian” names for full Moons in the 1930s and these names are now widely known and used. According to this almanac, as the full Moon in April is the Pink Moon, named after the herb moss pink (AKA creeping phlox, moss phlox, or mountain phlox.) This plant, native to the eastern USA, is one of the earliest widespread flowers of spring.
