Chris - I know bananas with wet feet have been discussed on another thread, but I think that if the temperatures are high enough, they can take a lot of water. I have some dwarf cavendish that grow where the water from the swimming pool flows when the filter is backwashed 3 times a week. VERY wet feet and chlorine etc but quite happy, in fact just flowering - but of course the temperature here is HOT day and night and very high humidity.
