Morphology
The meaning (a flower from Nepal that is trumpet‑shaped) is directly derivable from the constituents: 'Nepal' indicates origin, 'trumpet' indicates shape, and 'flower' names the plant part. This location+shape+noun compositional pattern is common and predictable in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Nepal trumpet flower gets its name from two clear images: Nepal, where it comes from, and the white, trumpet-shaped flower that looks like a small horn. That's why the name now means 'a climbing, fragrant plant from Nepal with trumpet-shaped flowers'.
