St. Valentine's Day

I had a wonderful St. Valentine's Day today! I received some beautiful flowers from my wonderful husband. He sent 3 red roses, 3 yellow roses tipped in red, and 2 snow white roses. All the people at the florist were intriqued by the special message he wrote on the back of the card. They could not figure out what it meant...See if you can read the back of the card below and decipher his special message...

If you could not read his hand writing on the above card it said:

3 red roses for our first fruits we had so early,

3 yellow roses for the next generation with bright eyes and warm smiles,

2 white for our love everlasting....

Any guesses to its meaning??

Also we went to an antique store and he bought me the lovely picture below to hang in the middle bedroom. Who do you think the picture reminded us of?
