Today's riddle sends us looking for a product which has taken its name from the Norwegian word for the plant below. Here’s a clue: Because its seeds are always covered by a thick mass of fluffy cotton, its English name naturally contains the word... cotton!!! Which product is hiding behind today's window? We are searching for the long women’s version

We got this one wrong in 2011, but correct in 2012. The plant is HERE (English) and HERE (Norwegian)

Answer from HERE = Torvull Lady Jacket or possibly from HERE Torvull Lady Pants
it depends how you read the phrase "We are searching for the long women’s version"

Sorry Folks - I got yesterday's wrong - answer was Myrull Lady Coat
Over the last few years we have always struggled with the Myrull/Torvull plant clues and I still haven't got the difference straight in my head! Only other possibility is our Norwegian friends keep changing the name of their plants in order to fool the Brits!
