April’s full moon is “The Pink Moon”

April’s full moon namesake in our garden

The Old Farmer’s Almanac calls the April 24th full moon “The Pink Moon”.  This name has nothing to do with the color of the moon. It won’t be pink, but instead it will appear as the usual normal bright white moon. The name instead comes  from the bloom of the ground phlox, a pink flower common in North America that blooms in mid to late April.
