Default Wet area plantings

Hi all

I have a low area on my property that does not really drain anywhere. Right
now it is lawn and from November to say mid april it was "soupy" or if it
was raining it was under an inch or two of water.

Now that we are in a dry spell I would like to tear it up and plant some
water loving plants that will make it look better and hopefully transpire
enough water to keep it more dry back there.

Any suggestions? There are mature pine trees around it so it only gets about
50% sun.

Thanks in advance
