The DOE has one entry for blæd and blǣd; for the meaing 'fruit, Frucht' cf. s.v. blǣd (1-2); meaning 1.b. translates blǣd used figuratively: "anything produced from an action or labour".
Maybe the lemma can also be translated with 'blossom, Blüte' but hardly with 'Leaf, Blatt' as Cockayne (1961,II,225) translates LB 68/2 ("leaf of laurel") beacuse in LB 69/14 this is referred to as laures leaf. It is not possible to conclusively decide if the recipe in the LB refers to blēd 'fuit, Frucht' or 'blossom, Blüte' as the context (LB 69/6: þreo croppan laures bleda) gives no clue: →crop 'bunch, Büschel' can be used for both inflorescenc and infructescens. Most problably it denotes 'fuit, Frucht' because in LB 68/5f 'blossom' is expressed with blostman. The DOE does not provide this meaning.
For plumbleda we can hardly assume the meaning 'blossom, Blüte': Eft plumbleda ete neahtnestig. We should also note that the fruit of Laurus nobilis L. and Prunus domestica L. are much alike, cf. the description in Hegi (1906,IV,12 and IV,1107).
Etymology: cf. Pokorny (1989,I,122), who relates the (according to BTS) identical forms blǣd and blēd (BTS, s.v. blǣd) on the on hand (blēd) to OHG bluot 'flowering, blossom, das Blühen, Blüte' and on the other (blǣd) to OHG blāt 'blossom, Blüte'; he traces the OE form back to PIE -ō- or -ē-. It is most unlikely that all three occurrences of the LB are Anglian (beacuse of the brightening from WGMC -ā-), therefore we have to assume an f. i-decl. for OE blēd. Like BTS Holthausen (1974, s.v.) does not differentiate between blǣd and blēd (or błœd) and only records blǣd.
