I think I'm going to go - not sure which weekend yet.

When photographing orchids I have spent some amount of money to recreate the very diffuse lighting we have here on a typical NW day - somewhat overcast will bring out the colors very nicely.

A polarizing filter can make the colors saturate a little more, but be careful you don't get too much of the effect, or it will look unnatural.
