I have seen, Nymphoides species, Romulea aquatica, Spiloxene aquatica in the wild. Also I have seen Gladiolus tristis doing well in standing water in the wild. Narcissus jonquilla can be found in streams and N. alcarensis is in bogs. Most of these are in seasonally wet areas. Crinums, Hymenocallis and a few cyrtanthus are also from boggy places. One might think about Rhodohypoxis bauerii that grows year round in high altitude seepage areas. There are many terrestrial orchids in Africa from seasonal swamps.
