Morphology

Siberian + wall + flower

The phrase is compositionally built from 'Siberian' (from Siberia) + 'wall' + 'flower', so a B1 learner who knows those words can infer it denotes a kind of flower associated with walls that comes from or is linked to Siberia. 'Wallflower' is an established compound meaning a type of plant (with a secondary metaphorical human sense), and the geographic modifier simply specifies origin, making the overall meaning predictable and transparent.

Etymology

Siberian wall flower links two simple images: Siberian means 'from cold lands' and wall flower is a plant that grows in cracks on old stone walls. So the name helps you picture a tough, bright flower that can grow in hard places, which is why gardeners call this orange-yellow plant a Siberian wall flower.
