Super Flower Moon


The Super Flower Moon this morning at 6 am.

The full moon in May was named the "Flower Moon" by several Native American tribes because of the large number of flowers that bloom this month, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. It is also sometimes referred to as the Mother's Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon, references to a time of increased fertility.
