Morphology

peach + bell

The phrase combines a color descriptor 'peach' with 'bells' (bell-shaped flowers), so a learner who knows both words will infer it refers to bell-shaped flowers that are peach-colored or a type of bellflower. This is a straightforward compositional noun+noun/color pattern found across languages, making the meaning predictable without prior exposure.

Etymology

Peach bells gets its name from a simple picture: the plant has small 'bell-shaped' flowers like little bells, and its leaves look a bit like a peach tree's leaves. That's why the name now means a garden flower with bell-like blooms and peach-like leaves.
