Roxann,
Jewelweed, lobelia cardinalis, and Joe Pye (Eupatorium) have some tolerance for lower light. More light will serve the health of your pond / wetland system. Consider thinning or limbing up nearby trees.

keith, i like the carpet idea. there's plenty of that available on freecycle
all the time. the plants you listed are all sun-loving, right? the ponds
would mostly be in the shade, but there is opportunity to bring the wetlands
out to the edge so that they can get some sunlight. i know i've seen some or
most of those plants in some shade, but maybe not so much as what i'll have
unless i move the wetlands to the edge.
