One of my favorites is the Louisiana Water Iris (beardless irises of the species Iris Hexagonae). Available in all colors/styles/combinations. Native to the swamps & bogs of Louisiana, they would be right at home in your location if it gets enough sun.
Amazingly, they will also do well in pots or raised beds but don't mind if their roots are submerged.
Here's a link, they ship overseas.
