I've grown a bunch of begonias, Ron, but not that one. I try to avoid the tuberous ones because they do like it cooler. I'd be inclined to give it a dormant period over the summer, since it seems to have just gone to sleep.

Keep it in the house, somewhere low down, (as cool and dry as possible) until maybe September then see if it will grow well during the cool weather.
