It isn't an idiom that I know of. I think it just means its face value: describing a flower that has bloomed completely.

It is not an idiomatic expression, it is based on a rarely seen word, "http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/blow_3", related to "bloom". I wouldn't expect the petals to be called full-blown but the flowers. A full-blown flower has opened all the way.

From the Invocation in Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita, English translation and commentary by Swami Swarupananda, [1909]
This spotless product of the words of Vyâsa,
This lotus of the Mahâbhârata,—
With the Bhagavad-Gitâ as its strong sweet fragrance,
And tales of heroes as its full-blown petals,
Held ever open by the talk of Hari
