Lilies for heavy soil

Are there any lilies that will tolerate heavy sometimes wet soil? I'm thinking species would probably be only way to go other than the standard tigers, easters and formosanums. Already have them and they do great in sometimes sodden heavy soil. Last night we got 3.5 inche of rain less than 6 hrs so you see what I'm dealing with. This is large border/bed so raising it is a no go. The soil has been amended for almost 20 years and is loads better than before I started but too much water is just too much water! It doesn't help that the yard is flat and in a low area- have to work with what you have. Tolerance to heat and humidity would be great too. My goodness I'm asking for alot!! Thanks Frank
