Why is April's full moon called the Full Pink Moon?

The Full Pink Moon is not actually pink, though it might appear so in some pictures. According to NASA, the Farmer's Almanac adopted a Native American naming system for full moons each month. The Pink Moon is named for the plant herb moss pink, which is an eastern U.S. native plant that blooms early in spring. Other names for the plant are creeping phlox, moss phlox, or mountain phlox.
