Morphology
The phrase is a prototypical adjective–noun composition: 'vernal' means 'of spring' and 'bloom' means 'flowering', so the combined meaning 'flowers that appear in spring' is directly derivable from the parts. This is a regular, compositional pattern with clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so a learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound vernal bloom joins vernal (meaning 'spring') and bloom (when flowers open). It gives the simple picture of fields full of flowers as spring comes, so it means 'a mass of flowers that appears in spring'.
