Feb. 25, 2026: Winter watering; Michelin goes statewide; IKEA's history; DIA's sign troubles

from Colorado Matters · host Colorado Public Radio

Even flowers are confused by this unseasonably warm and dry winter. We talk with CSU horticulturalist Allison O'Connor about what to know about watering your plants given the current weather. Then, Michelin is expanding the restaurants it might honor across Colorado. We speak with Grand Junction chef Josh Niernberg about the impact it could have on business. Then, as IKEA plans to expand in Colorado, we explore its history and the origin of its name. And, we answer a Colorado Wonders question about the giant, problem-plagued LED sign that greets travelers at DIA.
