[Four Clubs]

Please can you help me finish this crossword. Type of run (3lts) b?e (the b comes from bloom (flower) - I did think of flora but it didn't fit with rheumatism - muscular disorder - and the e from reed bunting - a common European bird.
Rubbish (4ltrs) ???t and Ardent lover (5ltrs) ??m?i. These two clues interlink.
Hope this makes sense.
Many thanks.

any more letters now in the Rubbish one?

[Four Clubs]

Not at the moment sandyRoe, but if romeo is correct then the second letter is r (?r?t). The m comes from The Glass Menagerie (Tennessee Williams play) and the I from avid (eager). Does this help at all?
