On 23 June 2010 , two more stamps were added to the current set of definitives, one for 1st local (26 cents) and a second one for 2nd local (32 cents), featuring flowers. The 1st local stamp features the Simpoh Air (Dillenia suffruticosa), a plant with large leaves and large yellow flowers that usually last for only a day. The 2nd local stamp features the Singapore Rhododendron (Melastoma malabathricum), a common plant with flowers that also last only a day; the plant is a host for caterpillars of butterflies like the Common Sailor (Neptis hylas) and the Grey Count (Tanaecia lapidea). The 1st local stamp was also released as self-adhesives in booklets of 10 stamps and sheets of 20 stamps.
