What is the difference between blossom and flower? Is it: flower for small plants and blossom in the trees?

A flower is the blossom of any plant, including trees. So in this sense, flower and blossom are the same. However, sometimes we use flower to mean a fully mature blossom, and blossom to mean the first sign of a flower emerging from a bud. So when something is blossoming, it is growing. You could use flowering as well, but we tend to use blossoming.
