Pink Moon is the name for the full moon that occurs in April, and it's called that because it coincides with the blooming of moss pink (Phlox subulata) wildflowers, a sign of spring's arrival. In other cultures is also called the Egg Moon and the Sprouting grass moon as this is when the geese lay their eggs and the birds come back.
