Boraginaceae added to PBS wiki

If something like Cynoglossum is going to be on the Wiki, then what 
about Wyethia (mule ears, Asteraceae), or Aquilegia (columbine, 
Ranunculaceae), or Frasera (Swertia, Gentianaceae)?  The list of new 
possibilities seems very long when just considering California 
natives.  None of these plants can seriously be considered as 
bulb-like plants.  Having said that, if something as clearly non-bulb 
as Xanthorrhoea is already on the Wiki then it's difficult to argue 
against any of these other genera, and many, many others.  Simply go 
down the list of plants from any Plant Delight's Nursery catalog and 
post pictures at will.  Ferns might be a tough sell but many are 
rhizomatous.  Let the chaos begin.
