plants for wet conditions

My new allotment has had an area of standing water after recent very heavy rain.
I know there are things which I can do to improve the drainage, but are there any plants particularly fruit trees etc. which actually like wet conditions or would soak up the water leaving the rest of the plot less soggy?
