Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'dwarf' (= small) + 'flowering' (= bearing blossoms) + 'almond' (= almond tree/plant) yields a small almond plant that blooms. This straightforward combination follows normal English noun-modifier patterns and is easily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Dwarf flowering almond comes from two simple images: dwarf means 'small', and flowering almond points to its many flowers that look like those of an almond tree. So, the name helps you remember it is a 'small' garden shrub with many almond-like flowers in spring.
