Check out the advanced search, it has a lot of ways to combine queries.
Note that the terminology is a bit different within a group, it use "all of", 
"any of", and "none of". Groups can be combined with AND and OR.

The exemple you posted can also be done through "tag" (left sidebar) for the 
location, and filters->Tags Filter (right sidebar) for the flowers, when you 
set the filter combination to (OR) through the settings button in the lower 
right of the panel.
