Default Garden that floods

Friends have just moved into a house (12 miles W. of London) where the front
garden which is actually across on the other side of the road is liable to
flooding from a small stream that runs past it at the end(offshoot of the
R.Thames). Indeed, this winter it was under up to 4ft of water for a couple
of weeks. A real bog garden.

Whilst I can think of a few plants that may survive and flourish, Iris
siberica, I.laevigata, Zantedeshia atheopica, and some other "marginals"
have you any other plant suggestions.
