Will There be a Pink Moon in April?
Yes! And no.
The post in question is usually accompanied by a nice picture of a big full Moon that looks like it has been coloured in by a toddler let loose with a highlighter pen. This is misleading, to say the least: There is such a think as a Pink Moon but, much like the case with a Blue Moon, it won’t actually look pink. The first full Moon in April is known as a Pink Moon, particularly in Western cultures. In other cultures it is sometimes known as the Fish Moon, the Sprouting Grass Moon, and the Egg Moon.
So why is it called a Pink Moon?
I think the Sprouting Grass Moon gives the biggest clue: it’s the first Full Moon of spring! Why “pink”, then? It’s named for one of the earliest (widespread) native* spring flowers to pop up. The plant is phlox subulata, known by various popular names including moss pink.
Apparently, and completely off-topic, the plant’s odour can be mistaken for that of marijuana, which is a fact that occasionally causes tussles between gardeners and the law.
*To central USA, where the name is most popular and probably originated.
