Absolutely.
The title is a bit ungrammatical and, as you know, has double meaning.
  1. "the color of blooming flowers is..." (ellipsis)
  2. "the ABCs of blooming flowers"

The word "i-ro-ha" is a ordering of kana letters in old Japanese -- you can learn more in wikipedia.

For your information:
According to the official blog, there were many title candidates such as below.
  1. "Mayoiro Palette" -- I think "Mayoiro" is a shortened form of "mayoi no iro"(lit. "hesitating color")
  2. "Colorful Days"
  3. "Kikan ko" -- lit. "Stubborn girl"
  4. "Orumasshi!" -- lit. "Stay here!"(dialect in Kanazawa)
