The background is the full blossom of Japanese peach trees. Synthetic lactones are commonly used as perfumes with the fragrance of peach. The pink colour represents the gold nanoparticles, the blue sky is the symbol of air (oxygen). The scheme shows the lactonization from diols by the gold nanoparticle catalyst.
