Sets of seven were issued for each of the states of Malaysia. Stamps of all states were valid in all the other states as well. The post-offices in one state usually also sold stamps from other states
I have taken for each value a stamp from a different state.

South Africa. 2000. Pelargonium cucullatum (Wildemaiva) and Aptosimum procumbens (Karoo violet). South_Africa-2000-two_stamps_from_flora_series by Mick Taylor, on Flickr A couple of nice looking ones from my homeland. One thing that I need to track down is that most of the pictures of these stamps on the internet show them as being denominated R1,30 , whereas my two are denominated "Standard Postage." My Yvert&Tellier Africa catalog indicates that this stamp set was issued in 6 variants: - YT#1127AA-AE: Water-activated, Perf. 15x14.5, face value 1.30R, all labeled "South Africa", issued in 2000. - YT#1127AF-AQ: Self-adhesive, issued as a booklet, die-cut 13x12.5 on 2 or 3 sides, country label in the other official languages, face value 1.30R, issued in 2000. - YT #1159-1163: 2001 re-issue, Water-activated, Perf. 13, face value 1.40R, labelled "South Africa". - YT #1164-1168 and 1168A-1168E: 2001 reissue, Self-adhesive, issued as a booklet, face value "Standard Postage", labelled in the other official languages, die-cut 13x12.5 on 2 or 3 sides. - YT #1164a-1168Ea: 2001 reissue, smaller format, self-adhesive booklet, "Standard postage", non-English labels, die-cut 13x12.5. - YT #1164b-1168Eb: Same as above, but with a phosphorescent frame around the edge of the stamp. Issued in 2002. So a lot of classifying fun to look forward to! Here are my (incomplete) holdings of this set (Sorry if the scan gets a little blurry on the sides).

A flower set from Greenland (AFA 258 & 286-88). This stamp format (24x32 mm, and its transpose) is my favourite!
