I thought that, since playing lands don't use stack (am I correct?), this may work as follow:
1)Tap two mana sources to play Mana Bloom;
2)Tap two lands and return them to your hand to copy Mana Bloom;
3)Let the copy resolve and put the two lands onto the battlefield;
4)Return to point 2).

As long as the lands don't come into play tapped upon entrance, this should work as planned. Nice find!

I fear it does not work because rules state that the stack must be empty. :-(
From the Comprehensive Rules (Innistrad)

305. Lands
305.1. A player who has priority may play a land
card from his or her hand during a main phase of
his or her turn when the stack is empty. Playing a
land is a special action; it doesn't use the stack
(see rule 115). Rather, the player simply puts the
land onto the battlefield. Since the land doesn't go
on the stack, it is never a spell, and players can't
respond to it with instants or activated abilities.

So I see. However, as long as you can pay the copy cost upon activation, it will get you additional mana, so it is still a nice synergy

You answered your own question with the rule statement. You just have to wait for the stack to be empty.

Its not infinite. As was said, the stack has to be empty to play a land, even an additional one. For the stack to be empty, the spell you are trying to copy cannot be there anymore, so you cannot copy it further. You can, at most, copy it a number of times equal to half the lands you control, then you have to let all the copies and the original resolve before you can play out all the lands you just bounced to your hand.

what you could do is use harrow instead of bloom, since it puts lands into play as an effect, stack doesnt need to be empty. cast harrow copy it, copy resolves and puts two lands into play, use them to copy harrow again, repeating the process
end result, you landfall every land in your deck and end up with them all in your hand. a fast or manabond will solve that problem.

you want infinite though..adding warped devotion and enchanting yourself with sun and moon will do that, though life and limb with sporemound is easier, just be sure to have a way to break the loop
