b/w filters/film for wild flowers

from Rick Obermeyer (obermeyer_rick@si.com)
Hello, I will be going after some shots of spring wild flowers(orchids) in a couple of months. I would really like to do b/w and was wondering about any specific filters for tone enhancement and film choice. I'll be using the Mamiya 120 macro along with some off camera flash. I was thinking about a deep yellow filter and FP4+ film as a start? I have never done this type of photography, so I'll take all the suggestions I can get. I'll be doing my own development and printing. I know that some may ask, why not color for this? My love for b/w is to great! B/w is where it's at for me! Thanks to everyone
