What is the difference between "bloom" and "blossom"? Are they interchangeable? Many thanks.
 
In reference to plant flowers yes, they are interchangeable. There are some fairly obscure definitions of Bloom where it would not be correct to substitute blossom.
 
They are not interchangeable for me, maoyueh.
