We had this discussion here a couple of years ago but I'd like to have it again. What plants have you discovered that are secret water lovers - ones you wouldn't ordinarily think of as water garden plants but you grow them in your pond or bog?

From the last discussion it appears that these guys are secret water lovers. :
Hosta
Calla Lily
Cannas
Impatiens
Peace Lily
Chinese Evergreen
Illustrius
Elephant Ears - Colocasia
Some alocasias
Xanthosomas
Anubias - needs its roots tied to a log or rock
Draecena
Golden pothos
Ruellas
Hibiscus acetosella
Mint
Marsh marigolds
Forget-Me-Nots ( Myosotis scorpiodes)
Chamelon Plant (Houttuynia cordata 'Variegeta')
Siberian Iris
Acorus gramineus 'Variegatus'
Texas Star Hibiscus
