The actual king bloom is the middle one which produces the largest fruit.  The term is also used to designate the time when the king bloom opens up which means at the early part of the bloom for that variety in general terms.  Some varieties are kind of strange in that regard in that I was looking at one variety today that had fruit that was the size of large marbles but it still had a few blossoms that were flowering and fruit in sizes in-between.

Thanks. I did actually Google before asking onlist but I didn't come up with much.  For some reason I thought it was referring to a bloom period rather than one of the blooms in a cluster.

Hi Megan,

 

Take a look at this website from Michigan State University.  It gives a good explanation of "king bloom".
