Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition: 'pink' (color) + 'paper' (papery or paper-like quality) + 'daisy' (a type of flower), so a learner who knows the constituents will understand it as a daisy that is pink and has papery-looking petals. This adjectival + modifier + noun pattern is fully compositional and cross-linguistically transparent, with only minimal risk of misreading 'paper' as literally made of paper in absence of context.
Etymology
Pink paper daisy gets its name from the flower's bright pink color, its thin, dry petals that look like paper, and its small daisy-like shape. Because these 'paper' petals dry well and keep their color, gardeners often dry the flowers, so the name explains both how it looks and how people use it.
