No that's not how people describe me! Its the state of part of my garden.
What kinds of flowers/shrubs/plants tolerate or even prefer these
conditions? I'm looking for something that's colourful, pretty and can
take
care of it self (sort of like Wonder Woman!)
It must like wet soil and the occasional glimpse of the sun.

thanks

Ferns and mosses. Head to the local library for the gardening design books.

Ligularia (though it won't like total shade) and Rodgersia, Clematis unless
it's really water-logged all the time, Mimulus cardinalis are all possibles.
While at that library, look up boggy plants. ;-)
