es those are mega blooms. Once opened you can usually count the number of blooms that are fuse together.
These are exactly what I need to have to have at least one of my 30 plants to possibly grow a new personal best weight for me.

That's a decent sized bloom and one that I myself would most likely keep in order to hopefully have a very large tomato form from it.

May I ask what variety this is?

Darren,

it appears that this strain of Delicious you have is producing some nice mega blooms. I would try to get the one pictured fully pollinated and see where it goes.

In order to maximize the size of the tomato adherence to only growing that one tomato on the plant as well as extreme pruning would be in order.
