full bloom

Flowers fully open

Full bloom describes flowers at peak openness, petals fully unfurled before they begin to wilt: The roses are in full bloom.

The phrase extends to anything at its peak of development or vitality: Her career was in full bloom, The cherry trees reached full bloom in early April.

It suggests a moment of maximum flourishing, often with the implication that decline will follow.
