.."Your
designing ---- Phil ----- is the most magnificent that I have
ever had the pleasure of seeing. You excelled yourself at the
Kentucky A.I.F.D. Symposium. Your wedding bouquets, the flower
arrangements and the entrance of your beautiful model, all were
magnificent. Your use of space in designing is fantastic. It
would be my joy to study under you.
..I look forward to being with you
again.
Cordially,

.."Buddy
was a mentor to Phil, and Phil was an inspiration to Buddy. Together
and individually they plumbed the depth of design theory. To
them design is far more than decoration. It is an expression
through flowers, of one's inner soul. within the context of current
living. In their understanding design is like a sail boat riding
the swell of each new style but never losing sight of whence
it came or where it is going. Phil Rulloda is a singular living
design genius who has a grasp of the whole perspective of design.
..He has developed a design style that is instantly recognizable
- a style for which people from all over the world line up to
fill his classes. Phil's name is synonymous with the zenith of
design accomplishment whether in a classroom, flower show, publication
international symposium or competition. His dedication is such
that he could not breathe without flowers.
