Telemann created a much-envied garden later in life at his Hamburg residence. He wrote on many occasions to Handel in London, asking for plants from England. "I am insatiable", he wrote, "where hyacinths and tulips are concerned, greedy for ranunculi, and especially for anemones." In London, the Scottish composer James Oswald was also mad for plants. His illustrious patron, Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales, and his wife, Augusta, curated an impressive collection of exotic plants.
