To be precise:  this is a picture of my son from whom I received these flowers today.

     You can end a statement with a Preposition (from ) if it applied, of course,
           and even better, you can also end it with an Adverb (today ),as long as you separate them with a comma:

       "This is a picture of my son whom I received these flowers from, today".

No comma after from, Tim.  Where do you get these ideas?  Can you cite us any reference?

Exactly. How about:

 

This is a picture of my son who sent me flowers today.

A comma before 'who' (and also one before 'whom' in the previous posts).
