So I might be in a position to get some lighting gear. Before I submit the cost proposal, I wanted to get some ideas and suggestions.

I'm thinking a key light, back light, and fill light. What else do you suggest?

This will be primarily for taking orchid photos against a black backdrop. Do I want to get umbrellas or diffuser boxes (soft light box)?

I'm thinking umbrellas as they are economical, but the soft boxes sure do have some other options once you get the hang of it.
