Peace Lily. These guys survive quit nicely in only water. There was a fad a few years ago where people would put a beta fish in a clear vase with a peace lily sticking out the top. I know this because I had two of the and I had them for years. You don't need the fish, the lily will still work.

Lucky bamboo (Dracenia) will also survive in only water.

I would imagine that any bog plant would work as well. Some of these are what you would find in aquariums.
