orange + daisy

The phrase 'orange daisy' is directly compositional: 'orange' describes the color and modifies 'daisy', so a learner who knows both words can infer 'a daisy that is orange in color.' Color + noun combinations are highly productive and cross-linguistically common, making this immediately understandable to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Orange daisy is a simple name that describes the flower: it is a daisy, a name that comes from 'day's eye' because the flowers open in daylight, and it has bright orange petals. So the name helps you picture a small, cheerful orange flower.
