I was joking with you because I though you made a typo...CULTIVAR is
a fancy term for a horticultural variety, while CULTIVATOR is a
device or person that cultivates or tills the earth. I guess some
human cultivators might make good parents after all (at least I hope
so for my kid's sake).

"I ordinarily plod along a sort of whitewashed prison entry, subject
to some indifferent or even grovelling mood. I do not distinctly
realize my destiny. I have turned down my light to the merest
glimmer and am doing some task which I have set myself. I take
incredibly narrow views, live on the limits, and have no recollection
of absolute truth. Mushroom institutions hedge me in. But suddenly,
in some fortunate moment the voice of eternal wisdom reaches me, even
in the strain of the sparrow, and liberates me, whets and clarifies
my senses, makes me a competent witness."
--Henry David Thoreau, Journals, March 28, 1857.
