I'm pretty sure they're the same thing, or atleast a synonym for bloom is blossom, and a synonym for blossom is bloom.

If you want me to be specific, bloom has two O's while blossom has 2 S's

Update 29/12/2010:

Blossom - is generally the term used for the flowers of fruit bearing trees such as Pears, apples, cherries, plums and the like, especially those that flower in spring.

Bloom - is used most for garden flowers, but can also be used for flowering trees, cacti and even grasses. It is a more generic term for the state of being 'in flower', with the flowers open rather than in bud (unopened)

There are also other meanings for both words as is almost always the case for any English word:

e.g.

- A person can 'blossom' which means they are becoming more open, expansive and confident in themselves.

- An idea can 'blossom', which means it is expanding and becoming more understood and accepted by more people.

- You can have algal or fungal 'blooms' where there is an overabundance of algae growing in a lake or the sea, or fungus growing on something (e.g. on cheese, or overripe fruit)
