Macy's is in full bloom for its annual Flower Show.

Starting Sunday, the flagship store in Herald Square will feature 35,000 varieties of flowers, plants and trees from around the world.

This year's theme is "Spring is in the Air," with themed gardens invoking the city and tropical climates.

Biplanes and kites will hover above the indoor gardens, alongside giant hot air balloons holding floral displays.

The show's executive director, Robin Hall, said it brings guests closer to the Herald Square store.

"It's the only show that we have that actually happens in the store. We have the fireworks and the parade, that all happens outside. This one actually brings people in," said Hall. "We can share the beauty of the architecture here, but we can also transform it with these beautiful, beautiful flowers."

Free guided tours with flora experts will be offered every hour.

The show will run through April 11. For more information, call 1-212-494-4495 or visit www.macys.com.
