You didn't think this was going to be easy, did you?
li3 hua1 李花 can be plum flower/blossom(s) but I prefer mei2 hua1 梅花 myself.
Plurals in Chinese are a bit different than in English and the same character pair represents both the singular and plural.
How does one write Plum Blossoms and Plum Flowers in Chinese? (but in English letters)?
I agreed with wyoscot, 梅花 (mei2 hua1) for plum blossom(s) / plum flower(s).
If we want to mean blooming of the plum flower, we would say "梅花开" (mei2 hua1 kai1), where 开 means open / open up.
Just a note 梅, 李 and 杏 is different in Chinese but always being referred in English as "plum" or "apricot".
