What is the May full moon called?

The May full moon is called the Flower Moon.

In May, pastures are rich and green, leading to an abundance of milk produced by herds of cows. Also called the "Flower Moon," this full moon is a symbol of fertility and growth, coinciding with the blooming of flowers and the peak of pollination activity.
