Just like a flower when it is blooming, the flower is at its peak. So, when someone says a person is a blooming idiot, I think of it as meaning they are at the top of the list.

It means that you should cut the bloom off after it has completely opened (usually after it starts to shrivel and die). This is important to establish new blooms for the next season. Rhododendrons and azaleas are common types of plant that require deadheading. Cut the bloom off just below the flower (there is usually a bulbous part at the top of the stem).

Just what Betty said. And often the word "bloody" is thrown in there for added flash!
"Where are the Bloody-Blooming car keys?
My Ex Sister-in-law used "bloomin'-bloody" for practically everything.
