Botanical Buzz in San Marino: The Huntington in San Marino is hosting a rare double bloom of titan arums (corpse flowers), with Odorysseus and Odora flowering together for a short peak window (about 24 hours, total blooms last roughly 24–48 hours), drawing thousands and sold-out lines for a fleeting, famously foul experience. Local Tech & Grid Reliability: Pasadena is approving a $425,000 overhaul of its Pasadena Water and Power communications setup, replacing a 1999 Remote Intelligent Gateway system and adding new CAISO revenue meters to improve reliability, monitoring, and cybersecurity. Water Resilience Planning: Marin Municipal Water District is moving ahead with a $2.65 million partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to support a drought-proof “atmospheric river capture” pipeline concept that would help replenish local reservoirs. Emergency Training Funding: Pasadena City Council is set to consider extra state funding for Urban Search and Rescue training, boosting a reimbursement agreement through 2028 with no impact to the city’s general fund. Community Science Events: The Huntington’s Twilight Garden Strolls are expanding after-hours access to the public on select summer Sundays, with timed tickets and limited areas open.
