Morphology
The meaning is directly and literally derived from combining 'white' (color) with 'daisy' (the flower), so a B1 learner who knows both words will immediately understand it refers to a daisy that is white. This adjective+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern and requires no idiomatic or metaphorical knowledge.
Etymology
White daisy is a name that describes the flower: bright white petals around a yellow center. The word daisy comes from the old phrase 'day's eye' because the flower opens in the day, so the name helps you picture this common garden flower.
