Recently I found out there are flowers named after Handel and Telemann.
So here is Rosa ‘Handel’, a very tall climbing rose that can grow up to 3 m.
And here is Peony Telemann, a species that was specially bred to commemorate his 250th death anniversary in 2017. It also gives pinkish flowers as Handel does, but the plant is much shorter, only as tall as an adult.
So I think the lesson here is that if you are really into gardening and flowers, you will become flowers one day
Now Handel could mail ‘Rosa Handel’ to Telemann from London
Now you might wonder where other baroque composers are, such as Vivaldi. Well, he does not become flowers: he becomes potatoes. Here is the potato variety called “Vivaldi”:
