best c-41 color film for flowers, including macro

I haven't found a C-41 that really shouts color accuracy – like Brian said, slides are for that. However, I'm partial to Portra, because the color I get from it just seems more dynamic; Ektar makes me feel weird.

edit: Besides, I've always found it easy to fix colors in post.
 
I don't like the way ektar handles reds in terms of accuracy (like it aesthetically though).

if this is important, I would go with Astia and a 5500k light.
 
Paul, I read what you said in the other thread about not liking the x100 for this assignment because of the inconvenient focus in macro, but it's beginning to sound like spray and pray with a digital is the least inconvenient way to do this...
 
that looks lovely ...

Thanks, Paul. I forgot to mention they were taken with a Minolta X-700 and Albinar 2.8/28mm Macro. Quite the performer for a third party lens. The colors on the white flowers could have been more brilliant, but the clouds were starting to take over. But they look accurate to me. Developement and scanning were done at CVS onto a Kodak CD.
