That may very likely be necessary. My experience with situations like
this is that delicate colours such as the light levendar of the petals in the
light can be washed out if the photo is not underexposed. The shadows along
the upper portion of the flowers and the leaves would motivate me to
underexpose at least one stop. Even a slight adjustment in the gamma of this
photo causes the lavendar to get washed out, so I'd have to say that the
exposure here is right on the mark.
My greatest difficulty with this situation is photographing Datura
flowers. They are dead white, and to get them properly when in full sun I'm
forced to use a diffuser.
