Blossom \Blos"som\ (bl[o^]s"s[u^]m), n. [OE. blosme, blostme,
AS. bl[=o]sma, bl[=o]stma, blossom; akin to D. bloesem, L.
fios, and E. flower; from the root of E. blow to blossom. See
{Blow} to blossom, and cf. {Bloom} a blossom.]
1. The flower of a plant, or the essential organs of
reproduction, with their appendages; florescence; bloom;
the flowers of a plant, collectively; as, the blossoms and
fruit of a tree; an apple tree in blossom.

also applied in common usage, to the corolla. It is
more commonly used than flower or bloom, when we have

flowers when we speak of plants cultivated for
ornament, and bloom in a more general sense, as of
flowers in general, or in reference to the beauty of
flowers.
