The first and only full moon in May will finally make its appearance in the U.S. on May 29, and it is known as the Flower Moon.
The Flower Moon was given its name for the first month of spring when flowers bloom, according to The Old Farmers Almanac. Flowers like violets, sundrops, indigo, lupine and bluebells are just some of the popular spring flowers that grow this month, according to Inverse.“We use Full Moon names that were used during Native American and Colonial times to help track the seasons. Depending on the tribe, May’s Full Moon was called the Full Flower Moon as well as Mother’s Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon,” the almanac states. “The May Moon marked a time of increasing fertility, with temperatures warm enough for safely bearing young, a near end to late frosts, and plants in bloom.”
