One is that transparency film renders much more accurately (thought not 100% perfectly) exactly what you see in real life on the film because you don't have the intervening hand of the printer/lab/machine to adjust/correct/botch the prints. The other is that the light reflected off the leaves will be (naturally) a little greenish... if you put a buttercup under your wrist it will say you like butter no matter what, because it reflects yellower light upwards against the skin tones. I can only suggest moving the subject more away from the foliage-- maybe a white reflector card off-camera?
