Flower, blossom, and bloom are close here. Flower is the everyday word for any flower. Blossom means flowers on trees, often for a season, and is usually uncountable. Bloom means a flower fully open. Other meanings of these words, like verbs, are not compared here.
这三个词在“花”这个意义上很接近，但语体和用法不同：flower 是最普通、任何场合都能用的日常词；blossom 尤指果树等树木开的花，常带季节色彩、也常作不可数名词；bloom 则强调花朵盛开的状态，多见于园艺、花艺语境，也常出现在 in full bloom 这类说法里。这里不比较 flower 作“精华、最好的部分”讲的意思，也不比较 blossom、bloom 各自作动词“开花；（事业等）发展、兴旺”的意思。
