Morphology
The phrase names a type of lily by straightforwardly combining color ('white'), a shape descriptor derived from 'trumpet' (trumpet-shaped), and the noun 'lily', so the overall meaning is directly inferable from the parts. Color + shape + noun composition is a common, cross-linguistically transparent pattern that a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can readily understand.
Etymology
White trumpet lily gets its name from the flower's look: it is a lily with large, white petals that form a trumpet shape. So the name helps you picture a 'tall' plant with 'trumpet-shaped' flowers.
