Tulipa 'Blushing Lady'is a single late tulip which has flowers that are a beautiful blend of yellow, peach, and pink blooming at the end of the tulip season (mid- to late May in the Chicago region) on a tall, strong stem. This cultivar is a "sport" of Tulipa 'Temple of Beauty', which features salmon-rose flowers.

A sport is a random genetic mutation that is stable under vegetative propagation techniques, and most frequently represents changes in flower color. In this case, 'Temple of Beauty' has mutated a number of times and is the parent of the following cultivars: 'Blushing Lady', 'Blushing Beauty', 'Hocus Pocus', 'Perestroyka', 'Temple's Favorite'.
