Even though Monday's moon is called the "Pink" moon, it won't actually be pink at all. Confusing, isn't it? Here's why: According to Space.com, the April full moon is called the Pink Moon because this full moon usually occurs around the time in which the flower "creeping phlox" is blooming or has bloomed, which of course has pink blooms on it. You can even see these flowers blooming in many spots across the Triad. Credit: WFMY Each full moon of the year has a different name that corresponds with it. For example, the full moon in January is called the Wolf Moon, in February it's called the snow moon, etc.
